Awhile back I took a look at the different options for maintaining multiple WordPress blogs with a single install in order to streamline WordPress and plugin updates. I looked at pretty much all the options on this Codex page and only one stood out.
In fact, it was head and shoulders above all the other ones.
So I introduce you to Stephen Rider’s Virtual Multiblog based on Allan Mertner’s original idea.
It currently powers stovallweems.com, kerriweems.com, shineinc.org, and awake08.com.
Please check it out. I love the elegance in it’s implementation!

Yes, I know of your deep love for WordPress. ;)
Very cool. I love WordPress! Can you tell???
Thanks for the kind words. :)
Virtual Multiblog and WordPress MU do each serve a particular use. The primary difference is the integrated admin in MU, vs. separate admin in VMB.
The biggest reason I’ve developed VMB was for its (nearly) complete compatibility with plugins and themes, which MU lacks.
No problem! If you’re only managing a handful of sites, it is totally the way to go.
Good luck!
Thanks for the recommendation! That one caught my eye on the codex page too.
Glad to see you got it working and like it.
