 * hi, i know that you can create multiple blogs either by having multiple databases,
   or have one databases and several tables. are there any benefits or downsides
   to either methods? which one should be used? i generally have created new database
   for each blog, but just wanted to know in general.
 * thanks in advance,
 * jen

 * the only real problem/inconvenience I see with one db is it may grow too large
   to import /export easily if your blogs really grow
