Portal management system to build a multi user blog

[prasanjit]

Hello All,

I am trying to build a website that will have a directory with blogging options.

Here is a brief description about the site concept.

1. Directory - A site owner can get listed in this directory with free of cost.
2. Blog Platform - After getting listed in the directory, a blogging option will be enabled for him to post his contents.


Please suggest me some portal management system or Content Management System and other technologies that can help me build this site.

Wordpress has got the Option for Administrator, Users, Contributors etc. Administrators can grant privileges to other members accordingly.

Also author list gets appeared in the /authors category. Get an account at:http://wordpress.com/ and than navigate to Users Tab

For self hosted option use: http://wordpress.org/
