Hi Ravi,

I considering moving few of my blogs in Blogger to WordPress on my domain. This includes my blogs in English, Tamil and also a podcast and a photoblog.

1. Is it best to have multiple installations on WordPress or having one and separate posts based on (parent)categories?

2. If I am to go with multiple installation is it good to go with example.com/blog, example.com/podcast and example.com/photoblog; or blog.example.com, podcast.example.com and photoblog.example.com?

Thanks & Regards,
Nimal

Hi Nimal,

Welcome to the forum :)

1. Not a good idea to mix english and tamil posts. Better to have 4 separate installations if you are going to be active in all.

2.There is a split opinion on the web on "subdirectory Vs subdomain" . Which is best depends on your purpose, quality and quantity of content. I have my blogs in subdomains and they are doing well.

http://searchenginewatch.com/3627909 is a good read.

Thanks Ravi (I'm little too late to say... :))

I've set up my blogs as separate installations and in sub-directory fashion.
