# Multiple Install question

 * I have a small blog on a host, and pay the $80 a year for unlimited size and 
   bandwidth (for the day I get dug… lol). I have a half built a blog for our small
   community on wordpress.com. But the limitations of not allowing iFrames are really
   preventing me from doing what I want and finishing it. Sooo.
 * Thought about moving the community blog in under my real blog, residing in something
   like myrealblog.com/communty/. Reading the instructions for multiple installs,
   it says to put each blog in its own folder on the root directory.
 * Can my blog on the **root** directory, and a separate install inside a folder
   on the root directory get along?
 * Assumed I would have to:
    1) make a new folder on root, and install the blog 
   into it. 2) make a separate database, and config the new blog for it. 3) Perhaps
   edit my domain on my provider? (not sure here)
 * Thanks,
    sunflowerfly

 * Typically yes. I’ve seen some rare wrinkles with that, but in most cases it should
   work just fine. And really, just one way to find out… 🙂

 * You can use the same database as the other, just specify a different prefix in
   the wp-config.php. There are pros and cons both ways so go with whatever makes
   sense for you, I suppose.
