    here’s my situation…
    I’ve got the domain 4peculiarpeople.com…within that I have 4 subdomains
    -bo.4peculiarpeople.com
    -ashley.4peculiarpeople.com
    -taylor.4peculiarpeople.com
    -nathaniel.4peculiarpeople.com

    I want to have 5 unique blogs (1 for the main and 4 others for the subs)
    the content will all be unique but the users will be the same…

    so how can i essentially share a userlist amongst those 5 different instances of wordpress?

    possible? i know it’s possible, because i guess that’s what the wordpress.org hosted sites do, right?

    With that scenario, instead of installing 5 single WP’s for the respective main blog and subdomain blogs, I would rather install one WordPress MU which will allow you to set up 5 or more sub-blogs in subdomain structure. That way, I would only have to upgrade one installation for all blogs when the time comes. But that’s just me.

    WPMU is not a 5-minute install unlike the regular WordPress and your server must meet certain requirements. http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/README.txt

    Btw, WPMU and WP will be merging sometime in the future per Matt

    thanks for the help…course my host(siteground) says i have to move to a dedicated hosting plan to use a wildcard dns…that changes my hosting costs from $10 to $100 a month…

    so i guess i’ll have to just gut it out with multiple installs

    I have a simular problem.
    I made this site: http://www.zoutstraten.be/
    and had to create an intranet/extranet for the client. I did this by creating a second WordPress installation: http://www.zoutstraten.be/intranet/.

    How can I organise that the users from the first main website can reach the’intranet’ pages and posts of the second WP installation..?

    Thanks for having a look at this issue..
