I’ve come to the point where I want to use the member feature in EE.
I’d like to give each user that login, their own blog at /blog/username
How do I do this? Can EE do this out of the box? If so how. I cannot find any documentation really on this.

First - you should probably contact EE Sales as the licensing terms do not allow using EE to provide a “hosted blogging service”.
Past that, it’s possible but depends on your requirements. Will the blogs need their own designs? Will they require different functionality?
EE is more geared towards powering shared group blogs - so the easiest way to get per member blogs is to create a shared one and then look at getting membernames in the URL and using that to filter the overall group blog to just one member.

It’s not ment to be a full blog hosting service. My website is mainly a vb forum and I am currently converting the site’s CMS into a EE one, except for the forum. I currentlyalready have a simple blogging page for my members. I thought first i’d take use of EE, but I think Im just going to write a new module instead that use my current blog script as a base.
