I run one site using a database which I now want to add as the feed for a second site - the individual articles will be common to both sites, but the title and style will be different.
How do I need to modify my database to let it do this - or do I just point the new site at the same database without doing anything else?
To use the same database, read Installing Multiple Blogs...essentially you use a different $table_prefix for each WordPress instance.
As for the 'common' part you could use Feeds or some plugin such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/copy-post/

Thanks for these helpful responses.
Looks like Michael's solution is the one - although I don't get why the separate blogs (which will be exactly the same apart from the title and some decor) have to have separate prefixes . . but I am only a wordpress novice!
