    Hi,
    I am looking to:
    – create several blogs (either seperate WordPress installations, or using multisite)
    – create site wide tags

    The intention being that (example):
    – Blogs may be ‘The slow cooking blog’, ‘The Fast cooking blog’, ‘The BBQ blog’.
    – a user reads a post on ‘slow cooking blog’ with a tag ‘chicken’
    – the user clicks on the tag ‘chicken’
    – the user has access to all posts tagged ‘chicken’, across sites ‘slow cook blog’, ‘fast cook blog’, ‘bbq blog’, etc

    Can anyone help?
    Am I best to use seperate sites, or multi-site, or rethink my whole plan?????

    Thanks
    David

    What I’ve done is Build the Multisite and install a plugin like Feed WordPress to pull in the RSS feeds from the multiple sub-sites into one main site. If you’ll configure Feed WordPress properly it should honor all your tags and categories.

    If the visitor searches for chicken and chicken is in your barbeque site then depending on if they are in the main site they will see a post pointing to the chicken post in barbeque along with all the posts about chicken.

    If they went to your barbeque site instead they would see the chicken post in that site only.

    I would set my RSS feeds for summary so the visitor (or anyone using a feed reader) will need to visit the site to read the full article. The visitors will click your read more links and be redirected to the proper site with the full article.

    Thanks for the reply and the suggestion.
    I’m still trying to get my head around my requirements, and how to deploy (Multi site or multiple installations). Your approach certainly has merit I’ll be looking into.

    Thanks
