To keep up with their identities, I created a script for each family member to run (dad.php, mom.php, etc.), and it sets a cookie on each computer and uses sessions so I know who is connecting. It works great unless I want to share a computer between two users.

My question is: Is it possible to set one cookie for IE and another for Firefox so that, depending on which browser is used, I can tell who is connecting to the blog? If this is not possible, is there another easy way to do it?

Optionally, I just thought that if this was too much for them to
do/remember, they could have their own bookmarks, like "Dad - Yoursite"
(http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?person=dad) and Mom - Yoursite
(http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?person=mom) and set the
session/cookie or whatever you're doing based on $_GET['person'].

I would still opt for the login though, even if not secure.

Hi Shawn -

I was hoping to avoid logging in every time, but that may be the best way.
What I still don't understand is:  I thought that Firefox and IE each had their own cookies, and that I could determine the user by which browser they used. In other words, Firefox's cookie would be for dad and IE's for mom. But I can't figure out how to do that. Do Firefox and IE share cookies?

Thanks.
Ken
