 * I’ve read that WordPress does not support multiple blogs on 1 site, except by
   going for a multi-site option. I wonder why this restriction exists, and whether
   it could be overcome within a theme. Maybe a template file, with a ‘category 
   post’page, that could read and display the posts for a specific category?
    I’m
   still quite new to WordPress, but love what I’ve seen so far, and interested 
   at trying my hand at some development. My guess is that if this were feasible,
   someone would have done it by now! But anyone out there know?

 * Whoever said that is wrong. I have more than 3 copies of WordPress running quite
   happily on one site. Perhaps it would help if you clarified exactly what you 
   mean by “blog”. Generally, blog = site.

 * I meant to say on 1 install of WordPress. I thought I might be able to have separate
   pages for different post categories, without having to install further copies
   of WordPress.

 * WordPress does generate pages for each category on demand but all posts will 
   be listed on your main posts page by default unless you start adding custom queries
   to your theme’s index.php template file.
