Just a few recommendations:
Use captchas or you'll be spammed to death by the viagra & co. autogenerator and poster bots. "Recaptcha" is a great and very hard to break solution.
Allow people to customize their permalinks, many don't want any date based archives.
Upload at least "All In One SEO" or a similar plugin, maybe activated by default, so people don't produce more duplicate content than necessary. A SEO plugin is a must have.
Use widget ready templates only, so people can customize their templates and add additional ads in the sidebar via the text widget, but do never allow template code editing, too many abusers.
Make a list of the latest updated blogs on the homepage, so people are motivated to post often to get a link from the homepage.
