Install WordPress Multi-User Network — WP 3.0 and later
I created a video a couple years ago demonstrating how to create multiple WordPress blogs using a single database and I still get lots of email asking various questions about that process. However, since the release of WordPress 3.0 and the merging of WordPress and WordPress Mu, that process is no longer needed. You can now create multiple blogs using a single install of the base WordPress code. Although I no longer actively create WordPress tutorials for the general public, I decided to do an update so that people wouldn’t be following the old procedure and unnecessarily uploading multiple copies of the WP code-base to create multiple blogs.
The video above demonstrates how to install a clean copy of WordPress on a Bluehost account and then configure the networking feature to allow for the creation of multiple blogs. Enjoy!

This was very helpful. Thank you for doing this.
I wonder if you will do one on working with the “multiple” blogs/sub directories? Like a “next steps”?
Thanks again.

Probably not in the near future…I’ve been swamped with other projects for the past year and now I’m just doing one of these every now and then to post here in an effort to keep the content on this blog a little fresh.
That worked great! I’m just experimenting, but it’s doable on a free shared sever….Obviously, that has its limitations, but for a couple of sites it seems ok for now. Thanks.
finally a video that works!
great video, thanks
but u said “don’t let that fool u , and thinking u can go get a shared hosting account and install wpmu and start creating 100 and 1000 blogs , thats not gonna happen !”
but thats what i need to do really , can u please explain why it is not possible
@mouga: Because you will get shut down. You will need at least a VPS for any serious attempt at doing this.
