First up, EasyMoblog is no longer maintained. The main developer has  
disappeared and development has stagnated.

The good news is that we have branched the code to a new project  
called CoMoblog - http://comoblog.serialmonkey.com. Version 1.0 is  
currently in BETA testing and I hope to release it in the next couple  
of days. It's essentially EML version 0.5.1 with a swag of bug fixes  
and enhancements. This is where development will continue,

In regards to your question, yes you will need to install CML 50  
times - but you will only need a single database. CML supports a  
feature called "database table prefix" where each instance of CML can  
exist in the same DB, but each uses a different prefix on the table  
names so they don't interfere with each other.

If you like I may be able to investigate adding a function that  
allows a single CML installation to service multiple domains. This  
would involve installling CML into a "common" folder and just having  
the dynamic content stored within a folder for each webhost (dynamic  
content being the local configuration file and any uploaded static  
content). If you like wander over to our SF repository (www.sf.net/ 
projects/comoblog) and raise a RFE (Feature Enhancement) description  
what you would like and I will investigate.
