I had a blogging "network" with 70 bloggers, but they were all hosted on subdomains with their own wordpress accounts on yahoo hosting.
I had a lot of issues with yahoo hosting and downtimes, and also didn't feel like the subdomain route was the best way to go. So I shut everything down at the beginning of the year (also I had to concentrate on school).
I want to relaunch the blogging network and I am debating between using a hosting account where I can have unlimited domains and giving everyone their own wordpress account, designing a general template and running with it.
vs.
Going with wordpress mu, using the domain and theme plugins and have a more centralized control of the setup. MU seems to offer a little more control and a centralized place to update. However, I have a lot more to learn in regards of programming languages, not that I mind learning it.
I am just torn between what to do. Just looking for some feedback and if you think mu is the appropriate solution
