 * Hello!
 * Currently I teach graphic design at the High School level and just started teaching
   a web 2.0 class at my district’s Middle School. I have created many websites 
   using WordPress for clients and love how it can be set up to allow them to change
   information on the site themselves rather than calling me up every time. The 
   question here is as follows…
 * I want to be able to set up a class website using a WordPress, that would allow
   students create their own blog. This way they can decide on what topic they would
   like to write about. I have tried some free blogging sites but they are either
   completely locked out and void of any kind of customization or they simply are
   one blog that allows students to post comments under that blog title.
 * I want to give the students the freedom to create their own custom blog while
   I can still administer them, read and comment on them from one dashboard location.
 * The research I have conducted has led me to WordPress MU but I believe that is
   now built into the WordPress 3.0.
 * Can anyone help me with creating something that would give me the abilities as
   stated above? Or at least shoot me in the right direction?
 * Right now we are using a site called gaggle.net. but the restraints on that site
   make it very hard to be creative and there is really no customization at all.
 * Thanks in advance for the help!
 * Mike

 * indeed MU is now part of WP. and it should do exactly what you want. The link
   [@smarble53](https://wordpress.org/support/users/smarble53/) gave is good codex
   info, and this link is the area of the forum for that if you have questions.
