hey andrea,

then how would you recommend going about sharing or swapping the tables between blogs? maybe sometimes theres a stack of blog posts that i think belongs in blog A but is for now in blog B? i know you an use the import export function from the wordpress dashboard but i’m not sure how one would use that feature to import/export specific parts of a blog.

hey andrea,

thanks for the reply. i’m just trying to learn what i can and can’t do actually more than anything. i have my network installed on a subdirectory right now. because i don’t want to clutter my root.

sorry i don’t understand the term, scaling a database. i’ll google it up. i’m using multisite so i can separate a blog from a portfolio, that from a one-a-day blog, that from a bbpress forum etc.

i’m not aiming to have a million blogs or anything more than 4 or 5 at max actually unless my trigger finger for posting gets out of hand.

maybe it’s just OCD, (or using multisite for the intended purpose listed up top is OCD as well), but i thought having them in separate databases made it easier for organization and access to the tables when necessary easier as well.

do all th blogs in a network fall under the same table prefixes? think mine is set to default “wp_” if they do, how do you discern between them?

sorry for the blob of questions. thanks for your reply!

hey justin,

i think trex33’s request is valid though. i.e if you reference the structure of a portfolio:

for instance, let’s say we create WORK as a new taxonomy. and i can give it terms, such as illustration, branding, logotype, etc. I’m sure it’s very practical to want an instance where all terms tax’ed as WORK to be displayed and queryed in a single instance for people to browse. As well, to give the user the certain impression of density and validity in UI that some people feel comfortable with when viewing people’s work.

what do you think? thanks.
big ups for the taxonomy write-up on your blog.
