blog software/script
Can anyone recommend some blogging software I can incorporate into a site?
It needs to be ASP (MS SQL ideally, but I can upsize from Access) and - most importantly - it needs to allow mutiple users to set up and run their own blogs.
This last point is the awkward one to cover.
Help, please!

Instead of looking for someone else's creations, why not write your own?
Just curious...why ASP? Why not PHP, or....serve the PHP via ASP. PHP would make things very simple compared to ASP, I believe.
Example:
-create a basic user submission script via a form
-and a page that displays this with date and other necessary info
-then create a module that a person creates a username and password, and then a module that builds off of that submission and display script from above
-if wanted, then add a "comment on this" link to each button, basically creating a sub board

I've read about and worked with .asp and vbscript for a few months, but I haven't looked into php. What makes PHP better to work with in this case?

Well, PHP is not hard to understand to begin with. (Don't get me wrong, I'm no expert) Alot of the tags are logical, and it works the way an HTML page would. It also programs like C++ or Basic/VB (more or less), so if you have don work with those before, then it is beneficial.
Not only does PHP make itself easier to learn than others, it lends itself to being used to generate pages much easier than any other language, based on reponse time of scripts and usability.

Perhaps so, I can't compare the two given I don't know anything about php. However, .asp natively uses VBScript which is a slightly stripped down version of Visual Basic, and you can also use JavaScript (and other languages if you wish). I've found it very easy to write scripts, in fact I'm about to finish a script that's similar to AltaVista Babelfish. Processing speed seems to be good.

php, starting with 4.0, actually benchmarks slightly faster than asp. it's also on many more servers becasue it's not microsoft proprietary.
it's actually opensource,, something used to make it FASTER to respond to any issue, security or otherwise, that arises.
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

(I was going to say ASP was proprietary, but I wasn't sure that it was...thanks m3rajk)
