Hi guys I'm trying to implement a site which is basically multiple blogs with a centralized front page, a community of bloggers. I'm thinking how this may be done with Drupal, for now I have thought redirecting from the front page to the blog page and handle everything from there and delete all content types except for blog entry, of course.

I'm sure this can be done better, though. I'd love to hear ideas on how you guys would approach this.

Cheerios, drupallers.

From your short discription it should be possible to do what you what. In Drupal each user can have their own blog. Though when you say "redirecting from the front page to the blog page and handle everything from there" I am unsure what you mean by "handle everything from there" which is pretty open ended. Also, in Drupal there is no need to delete other content types, you simple do no enable them.

AAAh. What I mean is just having blog-page to act as front page with updated blogs posts, etc. Thanks for the tip on disabling content types.

I do believe that Drupal is very convenient tool for this.
Recently i've created personal site which has only one blog (probaly i will add one more soon) and some articles. This task took not too much efforts from my side.
