Two SEPERATE blogs….One Page

  • I’m working on a new site in which I would like two have two completely seperate wordpress installs display half and half on a single page. Why two installs and not just use categories or different authors?

    The main reason is that I’d like to be able to easily pull one of the blogs out and make it a seperate website if I want to in the future. Also, I want to the keep the archives completely seperate.

    Basically…I have a photoblog and a weblog. I want the weblog to display the latest entry and the photoblog to display the latest picture. One on one half of the page and the other on the other half of the page.

    To make things more fun, I will have a third install that will run the ‘portfolio’ side of the page that is sort of seperate from the journal area (the weblog and photoblog)

    Is this possible to do? And can is it possible to have a single navigation where I can go from a home page to the journal and to the porfolio without feeling like I left the site? I would think that is just a matter of defining the navigation paths…

  • Only a coder would know the answer to this.

    As for having people switch from page to post or another blog, with it seeming seamless, it is down to the design.

    For instance, I have two sidebars, so if anyone clicks to another page, they see the middle content alter, but the sides remain the same, apart from various items which appear on certain pages. I can alter them also, but it seems to look the same all over, as most themes do.

    I could easily just set up another seperate installation and use the same theme to enable the seamless navigation you seem to be pointing towards.

    I can see serious issues trying to set up two blogs to run in one set up though. You’d surely have to rename the php files in your theme. If it meant fiddling in bits most of us stay well clear of, you might have serious work there.

    Of course, the width will be an issue unless you just plan to have two blogs with no sidebar.
