# Please help – Basic WP Question

 * I’ve added WP to my site and I figured out how to insert code into the “News”
   section so that I can use WP as a mini CMS. However, I can’t figure out if I 
   can insert code into another section and have two updatable areas. Could I use
   code from one of the catergory pages so that I can update two different sections
   of my site? Please advise. Thanks!

 * The site, please 🙂
    You might just want two WP blogs, each “inserted” into different
   categories or areas, but thats the answer to what I thought is the question, 
   please clarify.

 * No, you can use the same database, you need two tables.
    So , when you install
   the second blog, make sure you change the table prefix to something other than
   the table prefix for your first blog. This is a setting in the wp-config.php 
   file… I am talking about the following lines (lines 11 – 13) in it // Change 
   the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database. $table_prefix
   = ‘wp_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’ I hope two blogs solves your
   problem.
