 * Hi there,
 * First, I’m a neophyte of the wordpress-verse, so please excuse my future lack
   of grace or knowledge.
 * I run a student-run magazine, and so far we’ve been extremely successful at running
   daily articles on our blog. However, our layout is not geared towards displaying
   photoshoots. As such, I’m trying to st up a second blog, themed to show photo
   content. Is there a way I can run the tables so that the second uses a different
   prefix for options and posts, but retains the same one for users, etc?
 * Thank you very much!
 * P.S. Something similar has been detailed here:

   and here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/312547?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/312547?replies=2)
   but wordpress has changed a great deal since then.

 * Before creating a second WP blog for the same site, you might either:
    1) just
   create a category e.g. “Gallery” and [create a category template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates)
   e.g. category-gallery.php. Code then style it accordingly. 2) wait for WP 3.0
   where with one installation, you have your main blog and as many sub-blogs as
   you want and import users from main blog to gallery sub-blog for example.
