I couldn't find something that exactly fits my recipe, so maybe I can garner some help. I want implement a blog that allows certain members to contribute to it under ONE blog. Basically, how the front page displays stories similiar to a blog, I want to have the same attributes for the blog, but on a different URL as the home page.
I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?

The only thing I can think
The only thing I can think of is to use OG for this. Basically, you'd create a content type called "MultiUser blog" or something to that effect, and associate it with Organic Groups.
The blog owner could then control who is allowed to contribute to the "blog". You'd want to force all posts to be public.
This is not a perfect solution. You'll have to do a lot of theming and form overrides to get things working properly, but I think it's certainly doable...
Thought of that however
I thought of that however isn't OG for Drupal 6? I know I didn't mention this in the above posting, but I am running Drupal 5.
OG works swimmingly with D5.

I'll give it a shot. I just
I'll give it a shot. I just wish there was a way to make two different front style pages since the front page is the perfect set up already for allowing a multi-user individual blog.
use views
For each multi-person blog, create a view that filters blogs and filters out posts by each author you want to be on that page.

Blog module
If I understand what you want correctly, the core blog module does exactly that.
All users that create blog entries will have them listed under the url /blog.
