I've been looking all over for a blogging software that will let the members of my site have their own weblogs.

All of the blogging software i've tried seem geared toward one individual user, but not hosting multiple blogs. Im trying to go along the lines of livejournal.com or greatestjournal.com, where any member can publish thier own blog. (although my site will be on a much smaller scale)

Does anyone know of a blogging software that can accomidate multiple blogs?

Thanks in advance

I've got to second GreenLeaf's suggestion. MT is very easy to setup for multiple blogs.

I have a server that I host about 20 blogs on. I setup the individual domains, put quotas on the directories and setup FTP access for people. Once I'm done (about 5 minutes), I instruct them to use blogger.com. They can publish via FTP, change the look and feel whenever they want, upload pictures, it's great. I also never have to do updates or perform any kind of maintenance outside of backups and hotfixes. It's the easiest and quickest to market. Provides them the ability to move to another server if they end up wanting to.

I used to do Movable Type and even a couple homegrown solutions. Nothing against them, I found them to be awesome tools, I'm just lazy and don't have the time to support their requirements:)

That's my 2 cents.

I'd agree with MT as well.
