Hello Warriors,
I have 9 blogs running(different domains).
i have read somewhere that i can integrate all by wpmu.
How can i do this?

Install WP MU on a domain - example.com
Create blogs in subdomains - blog1.example.com; blog2.example.com
Use the domain mapping plugin to "map" your domains to these blogs

(that's, basically, the very short version of it)

Allegedly, the next version of WP (3) will be the merge between the simple Wp and WP MU.

  And I wish they'd hurry up, because I have products on hold waiting for that to happen.
  
  Thanks

  They've been saying they were going to merge for a year, I haven't heard any updates.
  
  I've used WPMU, and as with anything, there's a learning curve. If you want your 9 domains to have their own root ULR (ie, not blog1.yourdomain.com etc), you have to use a mapping plugin, for instance.
  
  It's all do-able of course, I wound up having to ask multiple questions on the WPMU forums to figure out everything I wanted to be able to do.
  
  Thanks

It was promised for May... although I'd rather wait a bit longer than having a half-baked version.

The RC1 is available, although even the devs say: "download the RC and test it out (but not on your live site unless you’re extra adventurous)"

EDIT. I just downloaded the RC1 and will install it in a minute

  It will be interestnig to hear your thoughts, Istvan.
  
  I want to try out Version 3, but can't justify the time to play around with a beta version.
  
  Thanks

  We can't tell whether it's a wise move to do something unless we know what you are trying to accomplish.

  I have WP RC1 running on a development domain at the moment but I am not using it for the purpose of this thread, I have also installed BuddyPress so this is for a future membership site for a client, however, I wanted to add that, so far, I have not had any issues with RC1.
  
  Cheers

You could just install wordpress MU directly - it's not too hard to set up. By the way - you'll need the addin which allows you to run multiple domains like www.site1.com and www.site2.com (or you could use a bit of apache .htaccess magic to do it )

WP3 is going to be very interesting for those of us making money from WPMU - lets hope it is not half arsed.
