Try Wordpress: http://www.wordpress.com/ (the hosted version) or http://www.wordpress.org/ (the self-hosted version).

Thanks! Does it support guest posting? So I don't have to approve anyone to be an author, users just pick username/pass and post?

You need to set the default user role to contributor or author in order to enable people to register and post on your blog. Also, don't forget to enable registration (if you haven't already).

BuddyPress (BuddyPress.org) is a great addon for Wordpress which allows for multiple blogs.

Wordpress alone also provides excellent access controls so that guest posters can post to a main blog without full access.
