# Two blogs, one website

 * I just installed WordPress with the K2 theme, and configured it as a website.
   [http://www.mylifeincollege.net/](http://www.mylifeincollege.net/)
 * Turns out the client (college counselor) needs not one, but two blogs for two
   separate audiences: one for college students and one for parents of college students.
   I’m trying to decide the best way to set this up for both optimal usability and
   optimal search.
 * I thought of using the existing blog functionality and two post categories (students,
   parents), but I’m not sure this provides sufficient separation between the audiences.
   There really should be two separate subscriptions.
 * Then I thought of using the blog functionality of the existing site for one audience,
   and installing another instance of word press in a sub-directory for the other
   audience. The draw back is having a second content management system.
 * Another option is two entirely different websites.
 * I will welcome any suggestions, comments, resources, ideas.

 * If I were building the site, I would opt for two different categories. Not sure
   what you mean by subscription… in the event that you mean subscription by rss
   feed, wordpress will automatically create a feed for each category. Check out
   the [random category feed](http://mfields.org/news/random/feed/) from my site-
   > all other categories are excluded.

 * I use 2 separate WP installs each in their own sub-directory, one is configured
   to run my whole site. Works fine for me. Once they are set up comments Spam should
   be about all you need to do between software updates.
 * There are several people here that have up to 6 or 8 individual blogs on the 
   same site.
 * Two separate sites is probably overkill.
