 * Hello,
 * I have a website powered by wordpress. I want to open a new wordpress site on
   a different domain.
 * Some posts should be available from both sites and I want to avoid to duplicate
   the posts in two different admin interface.
 * What is the best solution?
 * – Install the WordPress on the new domain and link to the first site’s database?
 * – Multisites ?
 * In advance, thanks for your help.
 * Yves

 * When you want one admin:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
 * For that other thing.

 * Thanks Roy for your fast reply!
 * Will it be possible to share posts between two sites of the network?
 * Eather the whole content, eather from a selected category. The main thing is 
   to avoid to post content two times for each site that will have to display it…

 * I use a plugin Diamond Multi Site Widget which has options to do that.

 * ok, great!
 * I wonder if I do as many wordpress installation as the number of domain/sites
   I have. Each installation point to the same database so the content sharing is
   perfect…
 * Do you think that could work?

 * It’s possible, but I’d go for a network.

 * I would do the network ONLY because that’s ONE login for you, and ONE place to
   update plugins etc. I have to do 12 sites, and it’s much faster to only have 
   to update them 5 times (due to the server/site combos).

 * Thanks guys for all your replies…
 * The option would probably be to stay on the same site and work on the theme so
   the parts of the sites will be correctly distinguished.
 * This seams to be the best way to share content between sites…
 * cheers

 * A network activated theme will change all over the network if the network admin
   edits it. I do the same on my own website.
