student blogsCreated by Scott Crevier (St. Norbert College) on November 15, 2006
I'm working on implementing a blog solution for students to be marketed by our admissions office. Gotta have something that allows students to write in their own blog and have a moderator approve/publish the posts. Having authentication via LDAP is also a big plus. Also prefer Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP/Perl. I'm currently playing with b2evolution, though I'm interested to hear about other possibilities.
Since there seems to be some pretty decent free/open source solutions out there, that's where I'm focusing my efforts right now.

I personally have tried b2evolution, necleus, Joomla, and Plone but prefer Wordpress to all of these. It allows multiple users with varying levels of authority and an admin ability to moderate discussions. I also hear they lauched a multi-blog Wordpress install recently. You might want to check it out here:http://wordpress.org/ andhttp://mu.wordpress.org/. You can also create a free blog here: http://wordpress.com/
There is also so much support for Wordpress over other blogging software. There is a plugin for just about anything you want to do and most hosting companies have an auto install to make it easy for people that don't really know how to code.
