    On one of the site's I'm developing, I want to be able to allow members of the site to have their own blog. Is there a CMS that I can use that makes this relatively easy to do, or will one of the basic blog platforms work?

    Depends how many you need.

    Wordpress can be set up for a few multi users, however if you need say 100 or so, you will have to install Wordpress MU (MultiUsers), this isnt quite as straight forward as wordpress.

    I use Mambo (but not 4:6 - latest release is not so stable at the moment!) with mamblog & community builder mambots.

    Its all about what your comfortable with.

    Thanks. :) That looks like it's about what I'd need. I'm not worried about figuring out the setup. I usually manage. And I'll probably consider hiring someone to integrate it with the actual website if that's possible with WP.

    I can't stand Joomla. There's just a certain "look" (not really sure how else to explain it) about every single Joomla site I've seen (with the same obvious mods and add-ons) that I just don't like. WordPress is what I'm currently moving other blogs to, away from Blogger, and I like them so far, so since they have a group option, I think it'll be ideal. :)
