I've read that a single installation of MT can support multiple weblogs.

My question is this: if I create a second weblog for a friend to use, can he log in with his own username and password? (Ultimately, I don't want to have access to his blog, and I don't want him to have access to mine). I'm just trying to avoid having to install MT all over again for him.

Or is that not possible?

yes, just create an MT user account for him and give him the URL to mt.cgi, his user ID and password. Users can be set up with different levels of blog access.

See Authors and Permissions in the MT user manual.
