University Web Developers
Multiple blog systems
I would like for multiple students to have their own separate blog (not one blog with multi-users), and I'm curious to know what platforms people are using in similar situations.
I have an instance of Drupal installed, and was wondering if this is the best tool to use, or if others have had success using it, or if there was another system better suited to handling this.

I've used Drupal for various kinds of sites for years, but just finished my first blog site. It was a breeze except for WYSIWYG imageupload and video, and I think those would have been easier with clean URLs.

We're using Wordpress with multi-site installed for that very purpose. Each blog can have separate users, plugins, templates, etc all with only a single code-base which keeps the maintenance down.
We also use Drupal for our main site, but have found Wordpress a much more effective solution in the multi-blog environment.

I agree. We're using Wordpress 3.0 as a multi-site and it works quite well and is flexible enough. We're also using it for department and program blogs in addition to users.

Wordpress multi user is what we are using in our K-12 environment. We have 4th grades who are blogging with support from their teacher. From a management perspective I also believe it integrates with LDAP and other common protocols.
