I am trying to setup the following environment, but before I make a complete mess of things, thought I'd post my "needs" and see if I'm within the limits of the blogging software.

Blogs on multiple pages on intranet site

Page A:  IT Leadership Blogs

• Blog for CIO
• Blog for each of the CIO direct reports (5 of these)
• Need to be able to setup the blogs for these users ahead of time, no "self setup".
• Would like "recent" to only include these 6 blogs

Page B:

• Department Blogs - for members of a single department
• More traditional blogs. Update allowed for role "this department"
• Each person in "this department" can add a blog if they wish (nice, but if have to be setup for them, that is acceptable).
• "Recent" to only include the blogs for "this department"

Page C:

• Just like Page B, but for another department

Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Or get close? Or have I fantasized beyond the limits of the module? Maybe a creative implementation of child portals?

Regards,

Paul

What you said makes sense, but I thought I read somewhere that blog was a "site" module. I'm a bit unclear as to what that means, but seems to contradict the term "several instances".
