Wordpress 3.0 has this cool thing called 'multisite" where you can run all your wordpress sites from one location. Yippeeee!

I HATE having to install wordpress over and over and it's a nightmare everytime they update and I need to updated dozens of wordpress installs.

This tutorial is a bit techie but it's what you are looking for:

Not sure if you knew about multisite so if you are like me and hate updating dozens of wordpress installs this is for you

  • just add this line to your wp-config.php file and you get a previously hidden menu item under Tools called Network in your wordpress admin

    define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
    cool stuff

    I had problems in getting the posts indexed in Google. Only the home page was getting indexed in these blogs (I used subdomain option), and the inner pages were ignored.

    You may want to find a solution for this before you actively build out lots of sites. (I couldn't find one, yet)

      Has your experience with MultiSite improved in the meanwhile? Did you have any kind of site map or links from the home page to the subdomains to help Google find them?

      You can, through the use of a plugin

      Just google wordpress domain mapping plugin

      I use one and I love it, but not all sites will lend themselves to multisite.
