I'm wondering if MU is right for something I have in mind.
Imagine a community of people; I'd like to provide those in this community that are interested, a blog in which to express their views to the others in this community. So, out of the community of around 100,000, let's say perhaps I might have 100 bloggers.
I'd like one overall site that visitors would go to to read the views of the community's bloggers. They should be able to view a list of the most recent blog entries to read, and in addition, select their favorite blogger to read directly from.
I think MU can provide this, but please let me know.
But, here's something else I need. I don't want to go crazy administering this. I'd like it if each blogger were limited to a theme that fit with the overall look of the site and not be able to get into the themes to screw things up. I'd like to think of this more like a consistent looking online newspaper of columnists, than a collection of independent blogs.
Can I do all this, minimizing the administration to selecting bloggers, setting up new blogs, and related activites--not helping people with themes and other customization?
