  • No, you cannot do that with Y – and a search will make you think… probably.

    For what you want you need WordPress MU (MU=multi user)
    https://mu.www.ads-software.com.
    and we do not support that here.

    I knew you would reply quickly. Thanks for that. I will be checking with MU. But in the mena time, do you know any web hosting companies that support WP/MU?

    Thanks

    As I said, we are totally ignorant here about MU.
    WP (the blog software downloadable from here) can be installed easily on any “normal” host that supports PHP, MySQL. See About > Requirements on this page.

    I understand that WP can be easily installed such as Yahoo has it. But what about WP Multi User edit? Any hosting company has it installed? Is this a valid question?

    Thanks

    It’s a valid question, we just don’t have the answer ??
    I don’t think any hosting company installed it as you want it. Some of them (as wordpress.com) are using it to offer free blogging.

    I didn’t meant it like that at all!
    I meant manual install: it’s easy, 5 minutes and I am in controll.

    Very good. Now I am clear. This is what I am going to do. Obviously I was wrong thinking the Yahoo package could give me what I want.

    I am going to download WP MU edition and play with it on my local host. And further evaluate it and find a hosting company that is wiling to install it. Or maybe I will do my own hosting. I basically want to create a site to do what wordpress.com does to offer free blogging for a specific industry. Big vision, right?

    Thanks. So long.
