I am looking for customizable server side software that would allow to:
- Blog
- Categorize blog entries
- Register users without requiring administrator support
- Allow users to blog
- Let visitors/users rate blog entries in more than one rating category
- Display top ratings/best of in above categories
- Display featured articles
- Keep additional data for each blog entry (ie. some url, tags)Will Wordpress let me do all that, or should I rather check Drupal and the likes?

i think that's a bit beyond wp. drupal would probably fit the bill. or plone if you want something written in a language that doesn't blow. ha.

This is a perfect job for Drupal. You will need some added mod's but Drupal will do it no probs. Drupal is a major pain to customize and to make templates is the most frustrating thing I have done, allot of the code and logic is just always clear.
Wordpress is a very powerful CMS as well so I even think with Wordpress MU you can get allot of it done.

Looking at wordpress MU, it lets you create multiple blogs, not sure about users self-registering to a single one

http://drupal.org/node/193358There are tons of info in the forums but I am not sure if you want to use Drupal 6 or 5.7 there is a big difference from 5 to 6 and allot of the mod's are still in development for version 6. But if you go for version 5.7 then all you need are the following Mod's:
CCK
CCK fields - Email field, image field or what ever you need
Contemplate
Taxonomy
Views
Pathauto
Token
Path Redirect
CaptchaAfter reading for ages and getting my hands on the code I still never got my site up and running on Drupal... One day...
