group blog in Roller

[Steven Dongzhou Liao <li...@yahoo.com>]

I am new to Roller. I installed Roller in my local development environment. What I want to create is a group blog that multiple users can contribute. IHere is a list of requirements which I do not see how to do in Roller configuration:
1. Newly registered user automatically has permission to create entries in the group blog
2. Users can only create entries in the shared group blog

Anyone has idea on how to achieve these requirements? Also I am trying to play with Planet but could not make it work with the limited instruction in Installation Guide. I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Steven

Here's how it works. Once you have created a blog, you can invite
other users to join. But, you can only invite users who are already
registered in Roller. You can invite users to join with three
different permission levels, see the User Guide for details.

In Roller, users are free to create blogs, join blogs, etc. This
behavior cannot be disabled.

I'll respond to your other email about Planet.
