Hi,
like everybody here, I'm working on the "next big thing" :) ... probably it will never go online, it's just for my diploma.
Anyway, the site is supposed to be a networking site for students studying abroad. Signing up, I have to choose a city (where I will go to). As a member, I have access to this public "city area" (let's say "everybody's Barcelona"), where people can share their knowledge etc. And there's got to be a private area (like "my very own Barcelona"), where every user can have his own blog, calendar, gallery, ...
I'm a bit slow on the uptake, apart from all the other problems I got: how (damned!!) I can realise such a private area? A sector where I can store and administrate my private data.
As you might have noticed, I'm not yet the big drupal guru ... so, I'm grateful for any kind of hint!
Thanks

Could this help me out?

I thought it was kind of a frequent issue ... is it really that complex?
advanced profile should
advanced profile should cover most of what you want, yes.
This can work
I've used advanced profile several time for social networking type sites. Its a really great way to get nice user profiles AND to learn about Panels.
Basically - each profile simple adds panes (sections) to the panel (page) to display the user's blog, calendar, etc. Each of these can simple be a view of the node type. So, the user may have added an event to the Barcelona "group" (city), and then their profile can just show a view of events where the user is the author.
You could also add tabs to the advanced profile to show the user blog, gallery, etc.
