This plugin looks to be a promising solution to the issue of single interface/multiple blogs in WordPress:

I read somewhere that the developers of WP are planning to make it multi-blog capable. Can anyone update us on how this is developing, and whether its in process, or left aside for the time being?
Is there a road map for the WP developmen somewhere, where we can have an idea what developers are working on?
Where did you read that WP would be multi-blog capable?
Here’s a tentative list of features for version 1.6; but be advised that none of this is set in stone.
I read it here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs
“a multi-blog feature is in the planning for a future edition of WordPress”
Since I composed that particular line…
Being originally a one-blog/one-install design means WordPress requires a large overhaul to the core to make multi-blog/one-install a reality (ask those who’ve tried). A multi-blog component has been mentioned as something desired by the devs, but that doesn’t mean they’re sitting around their computers right this moment coding the multi-blog edition of WordPress, even though–in a sense–they have been doing just this for at least a year, in that each new version represents a small progression towards that goal.
To quote Matt back in May of 2004:
To satisfy the hype we could say “the very next version of WordPress will have full multi-blog capabilities� and just hold off the next release until that was done, or we could continue to release progressive enhancements while multi-blog work carried on concurrently. The latter is what I’d rather do.
So, will there be a multi-blog version of WordPress? It’s not risky to answer in the affirmative here. Just don’t look at it so much as a specific point on the map, but as an understanding that this feature will come to be when the right elements can be worked into the landscape.
