    Can I set up individual user blogs?
    I’m not sure how to get them on the main page either.

    Can someone help me out here?

    BP Quickpress is a possibility:

    If you’re using WPMU, you could also try BP Groupblog:
    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-groupblog/

    Though you need to create a group before you can enable a blog.

    That means you’re using standard WordPress. So you won’t see a link to blogs.

    If you set up your new users with the role of “contributor” or higher, they can post.
    Login to the WP backend and navigate to “Settings > General” and select “Contributor”.

    Then download a plugin like:

    Posthaste:
    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posthaste/

    or Quick Post Widget:
    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-post-widget/

    Also please refrain from bumping your own post every hour. Bumping your thread every 24 hours is enough.

    How do you get either of these set up as a separate page?
    what is bumping a post?

    @holgria – Try reading each plugin’s documentation or their corresponding support forum to find out more.
    eg. Posthaste FAQ – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posthaste/faq/

    You might have to change the user role to “Author” in order for those plugins to work.

    “Bumping a post” means replying to your own post in an attempt to get a response.

    Thanks. I’m really sorry about the bumping, I didn’t know you could edit your posts.
    I don’t really do forums much. Sorry if I’m not using proper etiquette.

    I read throught the FAQs for everything and I installed quickpress but I don’t think it did anything.

    I just want each user to have their own blog with wordpress and buddypress installed is that possible?

    or do i need wordpressmu to do that?

    Sorry for recommending Quickpress, it works only with WPMU. Try one of the other plugins I listed above.

    If you want each user to have their own seperate blog, then yes, you’ll have to use WPMU or you can wait until WP 3.0 is released.
