Chris Brooks asked for some guidance on hosting multiple people with BlogX... currently I'm doing this in a totally brute force way... I have about 40 people hosted on a server at work. I create a vroot for each person, and then copy BlogX into their directory, and away they go. The nice thing about this is that each person can tweak the implementation if they way. Obviously this strategy wouldn't work for a publis hosting service - but that wasn't my design goal.

So far it is working pretty well. I have a single proc Intel P4/3.06Ghz 512MB machine running 40 people, and the machine isn't bogging down at all. I suspect that once we start getting more active bloggers that this won't scale, but for now I'm continuing with the "go simple" model.
