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..
