# Multiple Blogs, Same Login

 * Desperate for some help with this. I am a newbie, but can do html/css.
 * My site uses a static blog page as a homepage, but then I need three separate
   blogs on very different subjects. I would like users to be able to login to comment
   only once though–so the same user login across all three blogs. I would like 
   the folders to be something like:
 * domain.com/blog
    domain.com/recipes domain.com/stories
 * Thanks in advance!

 * You could set them up as categories instead of different blogs. That would work
   just fine.

 * Thank you! Would the sidebar for each of the blogs in a certain category only
   show the blog titles of that particular category in the sidebar? If so, how would
   I do that?

 * Oh, you could probably get it to do that. If you put something like this in the
   sidebar.php file:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if (is_category('1')) {
        wp_list_categories('exclude=2,3');
       } else {
       if (is_category('2)) {
        wp_list_categories('exclude=1,3');
       }
       ```
   
 * get the idea?
 * Then, if you’re on category 1, categories 2 and 3 won’t be listed. Something 
   like that should work just fine.

 * <!– begin sidebar –>
 * <div id=”sidebar”>
 * <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else :?
   >
 * <h2>Categories</h2>
    -  <?php

      if (is_category(‘7)) { wp_list_categories(‘exclude=4’);}}?>

 * <!– end sidebar –>
 * error:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING. . . on line 14

 * You haven’t closed your “else” statement, here:
 * `<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : else:?
   >`
 * before the closing `</div>` you need to end your statement. The code we provided
   isn’t the problem. You need `<?php endif; ?>` before your closing div tag.

 * I added it, but no go. There must be something throwing it off. I’ll have someone
   take a look at the whole blog.
    (((Thank you!!!)))
