Sounds like you want a wiki more than a blog.  Each user can create a
page, attach files easily, put on pictures, etc.  Some wikis have a
concept of a home page for each user, which would make this even easier.

There are dozens of wikis out there.  I prefer http://www.pmwiki.org
because it's PHP, it has a plugin architecture to add functionality,
page groups for simplifying security, and the security alerts are few
and far between.
