Hi Eduardo, I am new to mezzanine. I have a doubt and was hoping you'd clear it up. My requirement is that there can be multiple users for my web app. Each user can setup his own blog. My main web app is running on django and it has already many custom built apps and features. So can I additionally install mezzanine to solve my requirement? Thanks for your time, Regards, Pavan
