   Hello,

   I have a hosted blog site at http://www.itslearningtime.com. My home page is called "ABout" and my blog is under "Blog". I would like to create a second blog that lives within this site, theme, everything. I would like the 2nd blog to be at "www.itslearningtime.com/blogs/Gavin" and I would change the 1st blog page to be at "www.itslearningtime.com/Kaitlyn". I will be the only one posting, but I want the Author and avatar for Gavin's blog to show as his name. I've read about multisite but I'm not sure if this is the right option for me. And if so, I am confused on how to do it, as I host with BlueHost and they set up the blog for me.

   THanks!

   I think its important to note, I do not want the second blog to live on its own. I just want it to be a page within my existing site, so that the theme is seemless between my blog and this new blog.

   WordPress doesn't have any option for multiple blogs within one blog. You would need to section your posts off somehow and then create separate blog pages for each.
   You could have a category for your first blog, and have several sub-categories with it. Then have a category for your second blog and have several sub-categories with it. Then you could make all posts for each main category load on a page of its own.

   That way categoryA (with all posts for blogA) load on blogpage#1 and categoryB (with all posts for blogB) load on blogpage#2.

   There may also be a plugin that can help you with organizing things.

   Otherwise, if you went the standard route, or even with MultiSite, you would have to have separate blogs with separate admin logins.

   Thanks. If I did this, how would I get category B posts to show on blogpage #2?

   You could configure your blog to show categories in the sidebar(or top/bottom bar, depending on how your site is setup), but name them, and treat them, like pages.
   (All your pages would likely have to be created as categories as well, unless you wanted two sections of pages.)

   Pages (Category title bar)
   --BlogA
   --BlogB
   --Some Other Page (Really just another category, but used like a page)
   etc.

   There are other ways to tweak it too, you'd just have to play with it until you got it how you needed. Some themes work better with setups like these than others as well. Some use categories as pages by default.
