I have an idea, yet I'm not sure if I should use regular WP or MU. Here's a very basic outline of the idea:
I'd like to offer a particular city the ability to post blogs about the city, that are all aggregated on one site. The look and feel of the initial pages would be something like the really nice MU installation at http://blogs.weightwatchen.com/, highlighted her in this forum.
However, I don't want this to be a support nightmare. As such, I'd like to restrict the blogs to one theme that I have set up and they cannot touch. It's a city with lots of people opining all the time about local issues, and the ability to state their opinions and prompt discussion is what they are after, not the customized blog. If I can do this with MU perhaps this is the right approach. Can I set it up with these restrictions?
But, I could also accomplish almost the same thing with WP. Each author I approve could make their own posts and people could click on the author links in the sidebar to access all of the posts from that author; this would be much like his own blog, except it would be missing things like blog title, the ability of a user to subscribe to only that author's posts, and some other things.
Without getting into too much more detail at the moment, I'd just like to set a direction for myself. Any comments which way I need to go?on what
