@Francesco , you can define the bolg creations to admin only by using either the admin_gatekeeper() funtion or by using if isadminloggedin() funtions.
Or you can make a replica of the blog plugin where blog creation is allowed only for admins and the original blogs are open to public.
the third option is that there is a "news" plugin available in the community, which will allow only admin news creation
Thank you very much I will try them all. See what fits better

Hi again, I did it, I'm just new at programming, though this is good food for thought i think. I used admin_gatekeeper in the add.php files and if isadminloggedin in the start.php file. It works, so now I have a blog that is the "official" voice of th enetwork, where I can make a limited number of authors publish on specific topics. Next step is to leave only the voice "all site blog" in the menu or to make the menu more impersonal, like "sitename's" blog instead of francesco's blog, and remove friends' blog. I think this is in the index page and view.php, but yet it is not very clear to me. I'm studying the docs. Any directions are welcome.
Thanks again,
France
I would first confirm that 'web' is the user and group for Apache processes. Each server is different, so you'll want to make certain you have it right for yours.
Thank you Brett,I have solved
yes 'web' is the user for apache and group too, it was a matter of permissions,
i think chow and chgrp umak to the new user permissions and even reverting to the previous owner you don't restore the right write perms. Need to use chmod
Strange thing is only subdirectories had been affected .
Thank you again and
nice to meet you
