vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Making New Version of VB Look like a blog frontend?

slobizman · #1 06-24-2007, 02:07 PM

I'm wish to start a "group blogging" site, where I have scores of approved bloggers, blogging about a particular topic. Each blogger will have his own "blog" (his own blog name, stream of comments, ability to have readers subscribe to just his blog, etc).

I see that this is coming (shortly?) to vb. However, the screenshots I saw still feel like a forum. I'd like the front end at least to feel more like a blog, with aggregated entries from the various bloggers showing up. I'd also like to be able to design it so it is more attractive, a cleaner "blog-like" look.

I'm looking at Wordpress MU and some CMS systems. But would I be able to do as I requested above with the new version of vb coming out? Is this what vbadvanced and and similar software does for it? And will these work right away with the new blogging functions?
