regarding multiple integrated blogs

  • Right now I have WP installed in a subdirectory of my server- (https://laloka.com/chakawali), but you see it from the root (laloka.com) thanks to a php file that redirects it. I want to change a couple of things, someone with more knowledge should be able to advise:
    — Instead of having “English” as a category of my blog, I would like to have a second blog in English. I can install another WP on my server, I think I can use up to 5 databases. If this is possible, do I just create a directory called English, install WP there and customise it as I did with the first one? Also, can i export all entries in the “english” category and re-import them into my new “English” blog?
    How do I create a link on each blog that will direct you to the other?
    — I want to install a photoblog and also connect it/integrate it with the other 2 blogs. My host supports Gallery2, coppermine, simpleviewer, plogger, singapore, exhibit engine, IPG, zenphoto and Related Images. Which of these works well with WP??
    All replies appreciated! thank you

  • 1. To see a blog at the root and having WP installed in a directory you don’t even need a redirect. See: Moving_WordPress
    2. You can have as many installs on your domain as you wish. Just put them all in their own directories. You don’t even need a separate database – just change the table prefix “wp_” in the config file to something else. See Installing_Multiple_Blogs
    3. If you have access to some tool like phpMyadmin to go into the database – you can export the “English” posts.

    (I don’t know anything about the galleries…)

    Thank you Moshu
    I have looked at those links ans I think I can handle the process. I?′m just not sure if i need the text blog to plug into the photo blog or vice versa.
    Regardless I am still wondering how I can integrate them all, probably I need the first page of my blog to link to the english blog and the photoblog. How do I add these links to the blog at the root of my site?

    Open the file where you want the links (header.php, index.php, sidebar.php… I don’t know) in a text editor an insert the links manually. It seems pretty simple ??
