Chapter 1
An Introduction to Multiple Sites
IN THIS CHAPTER
Discovering where multiple sites began
Exploring what you can do with multiple sites
Configuring your web server
In this chapter, I introduce you to the network feature that’s built into the WordPress software. The network feature allows you, the site owner, to add and maintain multiple blogs within one installation of WordPress. In this chapter, you discover how to set up the WordPress network feature, explore settings and configurations, gain an understanding of the Network Administrator role, determine which configuration is right for you (do you want subdirectories or subdomains?), and find some great resources to help you on your way.
When the network features are enabled, users of your network can run their own sites within your installation of WordPress. They also have access to their own Dashboards with the same options and features covered in the chapters in Book 3. Heck, it probably would be a great idea to buy a copy of this book for every member of your network so that everyone can become familiar with the WordPress Dashboard and features, too. At least have a copy on hand so that people can borrow yours!
