1. Child themes. Make one master theme, and then a child theme per site with their own custom two files (plus the style.css) and you’re done.
2. You … kinda can’t yet. There’s a workaround (see – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/398291 )
3. That I have no idea.
I would think, but cannot back myself up on this, that having custom taxonomies is less heavy than a network
I use redirects for doing things like #3. CPanel handles this as an interface or edit .htaccess directly.
re #3 – it depends. Who’s managing the posts?
Performace-wise? Either / or.
re: #2 – if you picked subdomains, then the main blog doesn’t get /blog stuffed in it.
Thanks for replies .
#3 – Now, I have managing the posts but, in future someone else will do that. I want to know both points of view, performance and performance-wise 🙂
#2 – Yes, I solved with this, I chose this solution with subdomains .
Next question if it’s possible (if not, I write a new function to do that);
How can I do that:
-I have two blogs via multi-site: blog1.site.com and blog2.site.com each other with different themes.
-I’m in wp-content/themes/blog1-theme/header.php and if I write get_permalink($postID); it will display the permalink from the blog1 . I want to display a permalink from blog2 ! It’s like I simulate this function to blog2 .
That is an example, I will need to do that at some others functions, not only to get_permalink.
Hope you will understand what I want.
Thanks you.
#3 – the only part where it makes a difference, performace-wise, is when you have thousands and hundreds of thousands of posts.
Pulling from one posts tables with 20,000 records = time hit.
Pulling from ten posts tables with 20,000 records = less time.
Subdomains will also be seen as mostly separate sites in search engines.
As for the last question:
standard WP functions will pull info from the blog you are on. If you want to pull the exact same info in the headr area there’s a couple ways you can do it.
hardcode the links and don;t use php.
Use switch_to_blog, then pull from the blog you want. this can get expensive though.
Why switch_to_blog can get expensive though ?
I have choose to play with network site with multi site .
A second question, a little offtopic if you can help me .
How can add a field in wp-admin post page, and when I press publish button the content from the field to be inserted somewhere . Can you give me a short syntax or a plugin to edit to obtain what I want ?
Thanks you.

The more database calls you make, the more ‘expensive’ things get, resource wise.

See http://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields
yes, but with custom fields I will insert data into wp_postmeta, I want in another table… it’s that possible ?
