Hi.

Is it possible to have it so that when a user signs up they get a taxonomy term to themselves, that only them can post content to but anyone can view?

Like their own corner of the site.

Any help much appreciated.

So you want something like this?:

User A creates event
User A creates story
User A creates blog

User B clicks a link to see User A's story, event, and blog all on one page.

Is this right?

If so, this functionality is pretty much already there without using taxonomies. For example, see http://drupal.org/user/831/track.

What effect are you trying to achieve?

Does anyone know how to put that list into a block?

Like when you are viewing something the user has written, in a block on the side it says: 'Other things this user has written'?

thanks

You can put anything you wish into a block. It takes some custom PHP coding. It would not be very hard and so it would be inexpensive to hire someone to help you.

i think i get what you mean.
beyond the personal blog, which only you can post to but others can read...
you may be looking for 'group' functionality. Their are 3 modules to look at:

og (organic groups)
groups
taxonomy access control

i recommend the latter but you'de have to tweak the drupal reg to create a term in say a taxonomy vocab called 'groups' and the term would be the username. then tac.mod would have to auto set the permissions for the user to have full access to their own group.

this sounds redundent, though. you can make a page that lists all of a user's content already. so, you can have your "corner" just need to make a special page and template file with proper queries... or extend the my account page.
