Default Blogs for Multiple Users?

Hiya everyone! I hope someone can help me! I run a community site (www.sandmountainonline.net) Ive ran this site since 2001 and its been so much fun but Ive recently pulled the entire site for a rehaul. Im slowly putting things back up. When I started the rehaul and switched to HostGator I found Joomla and am LOVING it!!! I just found Community Builder for it and have been working on a phpbb forum as well. Im looking for a blog app that will hopefully work well with these.

Im wanting to offer blogs to people in the community...hoping this will drive in more traffic if people are sharing their blog address. What is the best way to go about this? I dont have a clue when it comes to blogs. I know what they are and the basic principles and whatnot but beyond that I dont have a clue.

I have looked at wordpress and it looks GREAT! If I went this route would I have to manually install a blog for each user in cpanel? Is there a package out there somewhere that does that for you so that they dont have to wait to get started? I cant seem to find anything

Thanks for any help you can provide.
