Attempting Dual WP Blogs on One Godaddy Hosted Site
Reading about Wordpress mu was exciting to me until I learned my Economy, shared Godaddy hosting plan wouldn’t support it. I guess you have to pay extra for the Deluxe plan, and a dedicated IP address or something like that.
There is still hope, though. Because all I want is a second blog (not the plethera that would necessitate the dedicated IP), I may yet be able to set it up. First, I upgraded my Wordpress to 2.8.4. My intention was to then install a second Wordpress directory for the new blog, and create a second database to facilitate it. However, now I seem to already have two blogs: one with all of the posts I had previously made in my first blog, but in the old WP version, and a second blog in WP 2.8.4 that looks a lot like my old blog, but with only about half of my posts. I’m wondering whether they’re both referring to the same database, so I’m writing this post to see whether it shows up in both, or just one blog.
Here’s hoping for the best.
