# 2nd site off same database

 * 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](http://codex.wordpress.org/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/](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!
