Thank you Ipstenu,
It’s not that I don’t want multisite, I’m just trying to figure out the most efficient and optimized way to do this.
I thought about making another WP site, but that struck me as the more expensive way.
All I really want it for is so that my portfolio site and blog are separate, but also somewhat similar so if a prospective client stops by my portfolio site they can see that, yes I do have a blog where I talk about trendy things in my profession, but also if someone where to google videography/multimedia blogs they could find my blog but not necessarily my portfolio site. The distinction and separation is important to me.
