Once your fist blog has been installed, install your 2nd wordpress blog in a different directory. Make the table prefix something differnt ot the main/1st blog you made. But in the same database....

Database and Hosting Stress!

I have had a very annoying day of development trying but failing to do a large number of simple tasks using my databases.

This has been sorted now on all but one of my databases… more deleting tomorrow i think. Unfortunately this was not my only problem, the themes used on this blog have broken, so i will need to take a closer look at them after a good-nights sleep. It...

I inherited quite a dated website and a custom shopping cart system allowing customers to purchase products from the online gallery of her work. As the...

Red Alert 3

SEO Its been a long old slog, but I am now happy with my Red Alert 3 website. The site has been a huge learning curve for me in terms of SEO and programming, as well as giving me in depth knowledge of word-press and how to use it. The site is http://www.ra3.co.uk and is one of my best domains i own. Catchy, short, easy to remember and ranks well in google. Especially for red alert 3 maps, for which it dominates. All i have left to do is make a few more pages and then develop my next project which will be http://www.cnc4.co.uk for the next...
