Hi Evan,

That is exactly what you can do with WordPress MultiSite.

It would be one installation and one database but you can have many blogs as subdomains or even as you put example.com/anotherblog

After you have two blogs I would recommend exporting your content and importing it into the new site and then deleting the unwanted posts to minimize your effort in replicating the current site.

You can review what is necessary by reading about Creating a Network in the Codex.

If you have other questions feel free to ask.

I believe that I have seen this on multiple postings but since I need to also populate page content I had just moved on to using meta options. It seems there is a huge hole when it comes to documentation for MultiSite functions and I would love to hear your ideas on how to improve it since I have noticed you are the go to girl for this stuff on the forums, thank you for being so responsive and helpful!

I also was hoping you could speak to the bug I beleive I encountered before I report it: I mentioned that in ms-functions.php the do_action functions are being passed multiple parameters when it appears it only accepts a single parameter? We need to address that I think as it would be nice to have the other variables as well.

When a user goes to signup.php they first create a user account(if I am not logged in to my main WordPress site), after you submit this first step it then moves into creating the new blog: pick your url, and site title.

Am I missing the question here? I do not think you are logged in since you must first activate your blog before both the username and blog are created? Is that not correct?

As I stated above I am having a hard time tracking down DOCS for MultiSite so I am glad you guys are on here responding to questions; thank you both.
