It seems that many of you are curious about how to "multiblog". Or simply have more than one blog to write to. Currently I run 6 different ones. Even though I have a Livejournal site, and a Blogspot, I prefer to host my own on the server that hosts my domain, ThunderEyez.com. Now many times the post on these sites are the same, I need to catch as many eyeballs as possible to generate an audience (most people stumble on to a blog they like by accident or by track back url), but the idea is to catch "eyeballs". If interested, here's how I do it.
- I got my own domain and webhost at Godaddy.com, for under $20.
- Then I downloaded a fresh copy of Wordpress
- From there I extracted the zip file to my desktop.
- then we open the file wp-config.sample with notepad (on windows desktop)
it will look like this:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'
// Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');
/* Stop editing */
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>
Once this done we edit this file, save and upload it to Godaddy after creating a database for this installation. From there we can do it , with a deluxe hosting account, 25 times (25 blogs?) Here's what you do....
