I was thinking about allowing my users to create their own blogs with a CMS like refinerycms but I’m a rails developer for a couple of years and I find it these CMS’s pretty challenging Would end user bloggers looking for a blogging platform really be comfortable with this? Have bloggers graduated to a higher satisfaction level and wouldn’t be happy with a less configurable, but simpler platform?
I guarantee that the vast majority of people would be happy with a system with minimal reconfigurability. The problem is that each one of them would want a different set of basic features. Hence the need for configurability.
Your task would be to make a system available with just the features that your uses require, so it is up to you to take the complexity out and give them just what they want.
