I think this is actually worth investigating... honestly it has elements of an enhancement that I would like to see as well.
Basically, as the portal administrator, I would like to establish some settings that bloggers on my site cannot override. Say, for example, that I wanted to require all blogs to have approved comments, or something like that. Could we not perhaps establish some default values for the settings fields? They could be settable by the Portal Administrator. The blog could be named by the Users name from their profile, seeded with their email address from the users profile, blog title and other settings from defaults set by admin.
Your thoughts?
