    Hi, I do not know blogs at all and have not used them before.
    I run a 4x4 discussion forum and I now want to add a function where I can offer each of my users a free blog space to post their overlanding trip reports.

    I need blog software which I can install on my own server and then give them each a blog. And OF COURSE each blog must be able to display my Adsense Ads.

    Any suggestions?

    Wordpress MU would be a great choice, but if you want a bridging that would depended our your forums software.

    I would suggest Wordpress, it's the most common blogging software :)

    According to me, Wordpress is easy to install and maintain. It has an easy interface with powerfull features and extendability.
