Donna uses Movable Type as do several other famous bloggers - and some heavy-traffic sites like Boing Boing and Treehugger. You can run multiple blogs from the one control panel, which is handy, and Movable Type has a personal edition that is free. There are also Enterprise and Community editions (and the Community edition contains some of the same functionality available right now as promised in the future with WordPress MU with BuddyPress).

I've used Joomla myself in the past (and Plone, Drupal, and SharePoint). They are all a bit scary, and can certainly be made to really get up and dance with a lot of effort. I'm looking forward to seeing what the BuddyPress team can come up with, and how it compares to some of the other options. Best regards, Andrew Hi Sue,

I set up Joomla sites because of the features offered but it is a heavy, not very intuitive application and not too search engine friendly. Being able to use Wordpress as a complete CMS application makes a lot of sense. BuddyPress sounds very promising - thanks for letting us know about it.
