Yes, and I want it to be dynamic so I am not constantly changing it, or if I MUST change it, then just one, not for each “site”. And it MUST be SEO friendly, because my site has been #1 for its search terms for 5 years, and I can’t lose that.

And I don’t why you WP’ers use this terminology of each blog being a “site”. A site is a online presence in its entirety, not each page of a, well, site. It’s quite confusing you know. Because I really don’t want the same navbar across multiple sites, I just want one cohesive site. Nit-picking perhaps, but it doesn’t help new users when you have a different definition for common terms. ??

Well, if I move the position of pages, or add pages, take them away, what then?

Is that what you needed to know?

I have an existing website with 14 blogs. I want to move that to a CMS so the blog owners can take care of things without my intervention. So I thought of recreating it all within WP. So when people navigate the site, it needs to appear as one site, not many. If I make a change, I don’t want to be making that change 14 times. And within a year we may have 100 blogs, so it really needs to be very automated.

Are there themes that do this already?

It just seems that if you want a simple blog, WP is great, but if you want a CMS, fuggedaboutit. Which then just baffles me, because I decided to give WP a go after see comparisons between Joomla, Drupal and WP with WP coming out the winner. Yet both Drupal and Joomla can do this out of the box.

Ok, so you can’t have a common navigation menu. So you can’t _really_ have WP site with multiple blogs. Sorry, I thought it said 3.0 not 0.3. ??

OK, so I have to create a menu structure for each and every site, and every time I make a change, I have to make that change 14 times. Correct?

Thanks Roy. I had already looked at that but it’s hella confusing. It seems like it’s more for creating new unique sites, not just additional blog pages. When I make a chage, such as a theme adjustment, or adding a plugin, I don’t want to be doing it 14 times. Can you speak to this?

And that is a truly enormous amount of work, which means a huge margin for error, just to accomplish a most-basic CMS function.

This really should be as simple as: New Page > Page Type > Blog > Assign users.

Sadly I downloaded this just to play YouTube on the iPad. But it’s clearly broken. A fix?

Somebody…???
