With wordpress, you can only have one blog for yourself. There is wordpressMU, whith it you can have more than one blog on a single wordpressMU installation. You can allow others, your friends, your family or everyone to blog on your wordpressMU. Either you provide with subdomain for each blog or sub directories.
