    Hi all,

    we are setting up a multi-user, multi-blog and we started to experiment with wordpress. It seems that the WordPress-mu version is multi-user, but not really multi-blog. It is really about setting up several users to the same blog.

    My question is - am I right?

    What do I mean by multi-blog?

    a. For example, in wordpress.com, every user can have its own theme. Is that possible in wpmu?

    b. In wordpress.com, once I registered to have my own blog, my dashboard is with my own blog's name. In wpmu, every new user have the dashboard titled with the same blog name.
    can I have that in WPMU?

    that's what I meant by multi-blog.

    In addition, I have several questions related to that:

    1. I wondered what happens when a new blog is created at WP? does all the tables get created on the fly?

    2. If so, how can they search across multiple blogs? (I didn't see a free search, but saw tags search accross multiple blogs)

    3. I need to develop social-network features between users (i.e. friendships) Is there any wp plugin or any other open source platform you guys would recommend?

    I've asked a lot of questions... but thanks very much for _any_ idea about any of them :),
    J
