 * Hi,
 * I want to create one admin part where I can place all my posts. Now I want two
   websites and with categories I want to seperate them. Both websites are quite
   similar but also needs there own menu. I am now brainstorming in how to create
   it. I came up with the following solution. But is this the most easy way? If 
   not can you tell me! 🙂
 * > 2 different index files, index_one and index_two
   > index_one has his own header_one (with own custommenu) and own sidebar_one (
   > with own widget area)
 * the trouble with this is that there is no clean index.php page anymore.
 * what do you guys think of my setup?

 * Your best bet might be to use WordPress with MultiSite enabled.

 * I would go with 2 installs
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs#Single_Database](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs#Single_Database)
 * then use a plugin to feed one from the other

 * thanks for your quick answers.
 * Is the answer of Samuel not outdated?

 * Not at all. There are pros and cons both to using two separate installs versus
   using two network sites with MultiSite enabled.
 * There is no definitive “right” answer; it depends entirely on your use case.

 * no it’s not outdated – it just depends on what you’re trying to achieve and the
   easiest way for you to do it
 * multisite would work with some custom taxonomies or such

 * hmmm,
 * I quick read both the instructions and the solution of Samuel sounds way easier.
 * Is there a page with all the pros and cons to using two separate installs versus
   using two network sites with MultiSite enabled?

 * It would be great to also have one place to change all the menu’s (instead of
   logging-in on the different menu’s). How would you do that if you do it your 
   way?

   Create any number of menus, just call them properly on your header.
