Question: Is it possible to maintain multiple weblogs?

Currently I am developing a website for some sort of foundation of which we more or less have 3 types of pages:
  • Static pages (mostly used to provide information)
  • News pages (to give news for members of the foundation)
  • Weblog postings
The first two aren't a problem with CMS Made Simple, but I would like to know how I can work out the second one. The difficulty about this is that the different foundation founders would like to keep a weblog of their activities. Would it be possible to provide them a different login and let them maintain their own weblog.

I was more or less thinking about the following structure. Hope to hear some solution from other forum members...

Code: Select all

+ Home
+ News
+ Static pages
+ Management
     |
     +--- Member 1
     |       |
     |       +--- Weblog
     |
     +--- Member 2
     |       |
     |       +--- Weblog

1. Make a new group with Add Html blob property.
2. Add a new user and insert in this group.
3. From this account make a new blob.
4. Loop in 2. for any blob.

Now, owner of blob can edit his blob (only).

Interesting choice, but then users need to maintain the entries (per date) themselve and can't create postings to which replies could be made. Wouldn't it be possible to do something like this with the newssection? Or isn't there a blog module available? I could not find one on the wiki.
