Welcome
Well, I am testing out WordPress (a free blogger setup) here on golod.com to see how I like it. We are using blogger.com’s web based system to manage 13 blogs right now on 11 different hosts and 2 on blogger.com. The blogger dashboard is the easiest and most intuitive setup I have seen to date although WordPress is much more powerful and the admin interface is nice as well. I found a couple of ways to make WP manage multiple blogs, but they are merely hacks to the WP system and I am not sure I want to move from something that works so well now. So, why do I want to move in the first place? Well, Blogger.com is slow and simply is not available many times during the busy parts of the day. It is a real bummer when there is a free moment to write something that is in my head and it gets deleted or I am unable to post because their system is overloaded. So, next I will be taking a look at Movable Type to see what they can offer. I hear they have support for multiple blogs in their system, but the more I look at WP, the more I like it.

This is an old feed, but fairly relevant commentary,
I’ve been using WordPress for a reasonable length of time, now (off and on for about a year), and lately I’ve been using it exclusively. I’m very satisfied. True, it doesn’t have the ability to manage multiple blogs, but I’ve found that with a good offline blog editor (qumana, w.bloggar, ecto, etc…) one is able to effectively manage multiple wordpress blogs.
The only time I log into my control panel, now-a-days, is to delete the rare spam comment (I have some heavy controls in place to prevent it), or to update a plugin or config option. Well, okay, and to add categories.
Personally, I think WP is a very viable resource for managing multiple blogs.
A fairly easy hack, if you have shell access on a linux host, to implement is to create a seperate sub-directory for each domain under your webspace. Install the WordPress system into the main directory (public_html usually), and then create symbolic links back to the appropriate directory structure from your other site directories. As far as actual files are concerned, you should only need to have the index.php, config file, and wp-content/ directory. The rest could be done using symbolic links, and a simple shell script could be used for deployment.
Just a thought.
