Beginner issue: more than one blog in the same web site

Vote 0 Votes

Hi,

I am just starting with Movable type, and my goal for my first project is to have 3 different blogs running on different pages of the same web site. As if I was using the professional template set, and the pages called "about" and "contact", would be independent blogs instead of static pages.

I feel that there must be a simple solution for this, that as a beginner I can't seem to figure out. Can anyone help me?

Thank you, Bernardo de Souza

  • I have a similar setup. Just create a new blog in Movable Type, and set it to point to a directory of your choosing that corresponds with the location on your website that you want it to be at. For example, if your main blog is published to /, and you want a contact blog, you'd create a new blog inside Movable Type's content management system, and tell it to use /contact/.

    They will be separate blogs, thus they won't be integrated with one another, but if you use the same style for all of them, they'll look like extensions of the same site.

  • Depends on how different you want them to look as well. I've run completely seperate blogs in different folders for testing. Then just link to the index.php .html in that folder. But if they will all have the same skin I'd expect what Mike said to be easier.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
