Multiple Blogs on One Page

With Movable Type's Multiblog Plugin more than one blog can be displayed on a page. For instance, you could have the blog entries of individual reporters running down the right sidebar of the page like Majority Report does. The above link is to the documentation which is a little bit hidden.

"Rebuild control" is the core functionality: "MultiBlog allows you to define blog rebuild dependencies." From the documentation: "the ability to create rules that will cause other blogs to rebuild their indexes when another blog has an entry posted to it." Namely, let's say a reporter posts to a sub-blog and rebuilds her blog, this new entry is included on the front page which is also rebuilt.
