Yes I have, I installed it just the other week for a us acad and it’s um, not a great deal of kazoom to say the least.

Basically you get to select from the blog options which of the (pre-uploaded) themes you would like to have your blog run as… which is, I guess, better than nothing.

But (and this may have been caching issues) it then seemed to switch your entire experience of the site to that theme.

And of course the themes available are, while being very good, not totally interchangeable.

So a bit of a thumbs down I’m afraid… although Drupal as community plumbing and as independent sites keeps on getting better and better.

As far as Drupal is concerned, have you looked at Blog Theme (http://drupal.org/node/19248) as a way for users to have a little bit of control over their space? I haven’t yet, but I’m curious if anyone has.

Thanks Ken, I know Plone is a powerful and well-liked tool (unfortunately I haven’t been able to play with it as it’s not php / mysql) and people like Tom Hoffman have been doing great stuff with it… but I’d still caution against using a ‘one size’ system which people then have to fit into… and suggest that the kind of things offered by B2evo, MT & WPMU where communication is centred on the individual (as here: http://incsub.org/?page_id=19) will have far greater chances of success.
