yesthattomA friend of mine has a web site and she’d like to be able to have an extremely simple blog. She just wants to post a few sentences each day, maybe a link or two. Normally I would recommend a hosted solution, or even just a LJ account. However this is on a pay site and the blog would be a members only function.
Suggestions?

But you must either stop comments or block any comment containing 'http' (i.e. an attempt to comment with a clickable link) or it'll be spam comment city.
If that's what she ends up going with, I can send my changes to achieve this, plus a few other things.

Date: 2007-09-10 09:20 am (UTC)She's going to be blogging a sentence/link or two a day, and she wants only the paid members of her site to be able to read it?
or she wants to be able to give the members of her paid site blogs of their own?

Does it get any simpler?
