    My current blog is niquehappy.com/blog and i’d like to create/set up a second blog that’s pretty much the same only with different content – and call it niquehappy.com/shop or something like that.

    How do I go about doing this without screwing things up?

    Thank you!

  • Create a directory called “shop” or whatever, and install it there.

    If you want the same look, you can copy the appropriate theme file into the wp-content directory after you install WP in the new directory.

    hi ..that’s what i was thinking too, but it’s the database thing that i don’t remember how to do.

    so basically, just copy or duplicate everything i have now and just modify the user names or whatever in the sql database?

    It’s been awhile since I’ve done an install that wasn’t “one-click” through my hosting company, so I don’t remember the particulars of the database side of things. Forgot about that part, actually. I believe you can install another WP database in one sql database, but the prefixes would need to be different. Hopefully someone else can spot this and help on that end for ya.

    To be safe, I don’t think you’d want to do a copy/duplicate job, but rather completely install a fresh version of WP. The only copying you’d want to do is any theme files you use in your current version that you’d like to duplicate in the new blog.
