It'd be greatly appreciated. You can take the big-name CMS packages for a trial spin here: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ You could also consider not actually hosting the blogs, and just re-direct to their existing blog. E.g., the way tinyUrl.com or this site works: http://telephonebook.com/ [disclosure: I built it] Of course, since the bigger blog hosts already provide them with their own name such as: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/ you're not providing a WHOLE lot of added value here, and may not have a lot of users queuing up... Your biggest headache in hosting people's blogs will not be munging the URLs or domain names to re-direct, but in staying on top of security patches for the blogware and controlling spam-bots filling up the blog content with junk. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
