The first choice, while seeming to be the better of the 2 looked to be a bit heavyweight, as each user would have his own complete install of wrodpress. Seems like an admin nightmare to me. The 2nd is listed as alpha quality software. Doesn't sound like a great idea to me.

I'm sure you could pay for commercial blog software or blog hosting instead, if you preferred to do that. Or perhaps there are some other open-source blog suites which are more suited to your multiuser requirements than Wordpress. (Multiple user homepages, one blog with multiple users per company, works fine for me, although I have tried making a copy or two and it would take about 3 MB per extra user if you wanted to do it the heavyweight way.) -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
