   Is it possible to use one theme, say the default theme, in one directory such as http://mydomain/wp1 and a different theme, say a magazine style theme in another directory such as http://mydomain/wp2?

   I'm a bit confused, are these two seperate wordpress installs within the same domain, or two different categories within the same wordpress, or...?

   This is what I'm asking. To do what I stated above do I need two separate installs? Can you do two separate installs.

   I think you can only have one theme per WordPress installation. However, if you are handy with PHP, WordPress custom fields, HTML, and CSS, you can simulate multiple themes within one installation. Basically, you use PHP in the theme files to test for a post's custom fields or tags, then creates a custom CSS class reference in the HTML (such as putting a special "class" on the body tag), then have extra CSS layout descriptions in your style.css file that results in a different visual display.

   It's a bit of a hack, but it works... if you know PHP and such.
