    Sorry if this is a very Blog newbie question:
    I have an idea for a site that would allow people to have their own bloggs relating to the subject of the site, this would be in addition to lots of content, product reviews, a forum and user blogs.
    My question is can I use Wordpress as the blogging tool for multiple people and if so do I need to have multiple MySQL databases or can it just be one Database?

    As you can see I havent got a clue how Wordpress works and I have had a brief look at the wordpress site and it didnt seem to answer my questions, so I turn to you to help?

    Cheers
    Ched

    Wordpress MU is a blog hosting platform similar to what you are describing and allows you to host multiple wordpress blogs and uses only one database.
