Building a wordpress church site. The senior pastor needs a blog, the youth pastor needs a blog too and so does the music minister, secretary, etc. - all wrapped up via the main "Mama" site.
Ideally, I'd like to have http://www.domain.com; then domain.com/senior pastor....domain.com/youth pastor....domain.com/music pastor, and so forth. I sought out WP hive so I could build something so that each minister could log in and blog from his or her own area, and I wanted everyone's pages, templates and layouts to be consistent across the board.
I loaded up Hive and have been working with it, but I found that if I wanted 4 blogs I'd have to load in 4 new WP installs with 4 new admins and all that. I thought that you should only need to (for example) put your main theme into your "Mama site" and all the child sections inherited that same theme and layout from "Mama" - whereas now I have to copy & upload the same theme 4 times - one for each 'child' blog to get it to work. That kinda defeats the purpose? I think I'm totally doing this 110% wrong. Any advice? It's probably a newb error.
