 * I have two WordPress blogs set up on the one hosting account, and sharing the
   same database.
 * [http://mysite.com/ac](http://mysite.com/ac) and [http://mysite.com/bm](http://mysite.com/bm)
 * What I’d love to be able to do is to have posts of certain categories shared 
   between blogs ie, if I post to the ‘ac’ blog under category ‘fun’ then the post
   will also appear in the ‘bm’ blog, or if I post in the ‘bm’ blog with category‘
   work’, have the post appear in the ‘ac’ blog.
 * Is this at all possible? At present I’m having to re-key the posts into each 
   blog, so it would cut down the workload significantly if I could set something
   like this up.
 * Although both blogs share the same database, they have differnet table prefixes‘
   ac_’ and ‘bm_’
 * Any help duly appreciated

    Sure, it’s possible. Its just a matter of how well
   you know your SQL. Modify the post selection queries to join in the result of
   the query of the other tables and that should be that. You might have an order
   problem that you need to watch out for if the query engine doesn’t resort the
   joined tables. And you might have some wierd results if your user IDs don’t match
   up, but it’s possible.
 * Frankly, I don’t know if it will be worth your effort. You’ll have to, amoung
   other things make sure that you change the autoincrement values for one of the
   blogs so that the IDs for the posts are unique and I’m sure there are several
   places where the posts are pulled in unique manners (RSS feeds for example) that
   will have to change too.
 * It might just be easier to copy and paste the posts.

 * RSS feeds for that category + a feedreder? In both directions?

 * Yeah, I briefly thought along those lines too. Setup a third blog that is used
   as a feed for both. Or use the email submission and cc the second blog. Just 
   some thoughts…
