I'm sure you could pay for commercial blog software or blog hosting instead, if you preferred to do that. Or perhaps there are some other open-source blog suites which are more suited to your multiuser requirements than Wordpress. (Multiple user homepages, one blog with multiple users per company, works fine for me, although I have tried making a copy or two and it would take about 3 MB per extra user if you wanted to do it the "heavyweight" way.) -- -Chuck
