Can I have more than one Wordpress Database on my blog?
So say I have a domain with a Wordpress blog on it, and I want to have pages (different topics) that can also be updated (not the static ones it starts you out with) and hopefully have all updates on the topics list out on the main page.
Is that several wordpress installs (databases) on the one domain? Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thank you for your help...
:D
I do have the categories on the blog... for instance I have a home project category.. I would like all of those home project posts to be on a separate PAGE from my coupon posts or cooking posts... I do however want the list on the front page to update "recent posts" from all pages. Does that make any sense?
There is a gal that has a fabulous site and uses wordpress (maybe something else too) and seems to be able to accomplish this. Thepioneerwoman .com . Granted someone with some real talent designed her template (sadly that will not be the case here), but I like the ability to seperate those categories into pages.

To accomplish that, having a few post pages in wordpress, you don't need another new database :D
You only need to show or add categories pages to your navigation bar.
Google "add categories to wordpress navigation", you will find plenty tutorial.
It is hard to teach you the steps here since it will be long.

You don't need but the one database. The simplest way to do this is to assign every post to a category, and then set up your main-index template to list the archives in each category. It will take some command juggling, but it's certainly doable, assuming you don't have a ridiculous number of categories. (I have 60, which is well into the ridiculous range.)

only one wordpress is enough. set different categories as different topics, and post posts under their own categories. all posts and categories will update automatically.
