WordPress 3 now includes the features that were previously available as WordPress MU. “MU” stands for Multi-User (or Multi-Site) and this lets you to run multiple blogs all from a single WordPress installation. This walk-through will help you configure WordPress to manage multiple sites, each with their own second-level domain (SLD).
As you go through this walk-through, it helps to understand that WordPress MU was originally designed to create a branded, automated community of blogs using sub-domains (i.e. third-level domains) such as user1.wordpress.com, user2.wordpress.com, etc. You can sign up on wordpress.com right now and get your own instant blog, hosted on their servers. You become a part of the wordpress.com community. WordPress MU was designed to allow you to create your own communities under your own domain name branding.
This walk-through addresses a slightly different type of user which is perhaps a server admin or simply a person who runs several blogs. There is no “community” and you don’t allow anonymous users to stop by and create a blog. You might currently have WordPress installations on multiple servers with totally unrelated domains. Keeping the code and plugins updated for multiple blogs gets to be a hassle, so the idea of a single, centralized WordPress install is appealing for maintenance reasons. Thanks to WordPress’s flexible architecture you can do this, but it’s not part of the original design.
