Additionally... now that I'm thinking about it... is there any way to merge blogs? Say...merge the Baby blog into my everyday blog? Without having to manually copy/paste each post and category?

1) You could use htaccess to rewrite old to new (301 redirect)
2) You could enable moving categories/chapters between blogs ( one of the conf files ), or you could make a shiny new blog and aggregate the 2 blogs posts

I'd probably go with htaccess and moving categories

Neither option will rename /media/ folders though

Thanks. I'll have to think about it. I forgot about aggregate blogs... I may test that just to see if I like it. But, I may just end up keeping them separate. :)

Okay, I already have an aggregate blog set up, just not public. But when I view it, it says "Sorry, there is nothing to display..."

What am I missing? Does it need to be made public before stuff will appear?

/reading and trying to comprehend the Manual on this :)

Okay, how serious is the caution that allowing moving categories can break permalinks?

I barely understood what you were referring to, which is why that was my last option. :oops: I don't have it in me right now to ask a bunch of questions to get it working... separate blogs will be just fine for the time being. :D

It's a lot simpler than it sounds ;)

Give me a blog link and a baby link ( change to "yourdomain.tld" if you like, I only need the tail end of it [ ie/ index.php && /index.php/baby or whatever the two bits are ] ) then I can show you what you'd need to add to your htaccess to redirect baby to either owen or main blog. Then you'd still have the option of separate blogs or merged blogs

Based on urls in PM

To rename baby to owen :

• admin > blog settings > [blog ... probably "baby"] >

• change shortname, longname, whatever

• change url filename (probably baby) to owen

• hit save

[/list:u]

• htaccess : add the following lines (/path/ == your web subfolder, for most people it's /blogs/ ;) )

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/path/index.php/baby/
RewriteRule ^path/index.php/baby/(.*) http://your-doman.tld/path/index.php/owen/$1 [R=301,QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/path/media/blogs/baby/
RewriteRule ^path/media/blogs/baby/(.*) http://your-doman.tld/path/media/blogs/owen/[R=301,L]

[/list:u]

• ftp

• rename [path]/media/blogs/baby/ to .... most of rest of line /owen/

[/list:u]

• Hope like hell I free typed all that correctly

• Thank god you had the sense to backup your htacces and database before you tried this :D

[/list:u] ¥

heh, ffs, replace "http://yourdoman.tld" with "http://yourdomain.tld"and then, obviously, replace that with your real domain.tld ... damn life gets complicated fast :p

Hope like hell you took a backup :D

I will make a backup first, as always. I will try this later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks!
