It's really much more than I want. I'm looking for something much simpler to use as an adjunct for another site...something more like the blog function in Myspace.
Yeah, I am wanting to offer them to the users of my site. But simple blogs where I control everything except the articles, not ones with tons of options like regular wp blogs.
Listen to LazyHippie. How about Wordpress MU with a stock set of themes and plugin options - No javascript, warz, adult, etc. just exactly what wordpress.com offers. Not that hard if that is what your market wants.
