I can understand the motivation behind invite-only services. How do you maintain quality and defeat spam with a free service? There has to be some barrier. However, I should note that I like anonymity. This thing you have going with edublogs is great. I can just sign up and do it. I don't have to be approved by some snob or somehow prove my worth. After that, I'm up for pay services. Final choice, must-be-approved-by-someone services and then only if it is really worth it. I find those almost invariably fail because they do not get the critical mass. Well, one quick remark. I can understand the motivation behind invite-only services.

WordPress isn't like other content management systems; you have so much more control.
