blog in a blog

  • I have a crazy question…is it possible to load WordPress as a subdirectory within WordPress? I would like to have a blog within my blog.

    Let me explain…I want to have the first blog serve as running description of the process of setting up the second blog. The second blog will be used to present a wide range of short stories, all sorted into different categories.

    I would like to have the reference to the stories on the second blog (the embedded one) appear as a menu item in the sidebar of the first blog.

    I hope this isn’t too confusing. I want to try it, but am a little afraid of unwinding all that I have done to set up the first.

    Thanks in advance for any insights.

  • I think you should be able to

    Meaning if you is install wordpress into yoursite.com/wordpress and you want to install wordpress into yoursite.com/wordpress/subwordpress

    ?

    Yes, that’s the idea. I want to be able to sort stories under nested headers. I can do this with categories, but it seems like it would be more fun for the blog page that opens with the site to track how I collect the stories and that sort of related information. Then the blog in the subwordpress can be used to track the stories and their content.

    So, yes, I would end up with mysite.com/wordpress/subwordpress. Will it work? Where do I put the index.php file for the subwordpress directory….in the wordpress? Do I call the two index files something different? If i put index.php for the subwordpress directory into the WordPress directory, won’t it be confused about which is which?

    Many, many thanks!

    Linking the two together might get confusing, since if you want to display posts from different wordpress installations, you will be using the same code for both. How will wordpress know which installation to reference? ??
