Hi guys,
I have a project where the requirement is to have an "open blog" -- anyone can blog and administrators will approve & publish blog entries. I was just wondering if anyone had recommendations for a good platform to do this?
I'm looking at Posterous, I like the ease of posting via email and the fact that anonymous bloggers don't have to register. The one drawback with it is that I can't position the photo gallery to appear at the top of the post rather than the bottom in the template.
If self-hosted, it will have to be a PHP solution. Currently, the site is running on Wordpress, as there are other content-managed areas (which aren't collaborative). Also, the client doesn't have a huge budget so if we can use a free platform that's better.
My feelings are to write a custom CMS using CodeIgniter, and use Posterous for the blog part of it. Any other suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
