    Hi,
    i'm trying WP-hive with WP 2.7. I've installed 2 blogs for test, no errors. But i don't see anything in the admin panel, i want a tool (e.g. drop down menu) to switch from blog to another.
    How can i manage all blogs within the same admin interface?
    Thanks

    Each blog is independent, so there's no way to administer multiple blogs or switch between them quickly with the existing version. There's also no Admin panel, as everything works in the background.

    Hi there! I was under the impression there was an unique Admin for the hived blogs and was feeling kind of strange, since was not getting to that sole Admin. So, WP Hive let's you create several blogs with a unique WP installation. And when you want to update plugins, you do it in the first blog or youi have to do it in all the blogs? What if you uninstall plugins or themes in the first blog? Thanks.

    Hi. Chiming in here. The wp-hive blogs "share" the WP install. So, if you are using a plugin or theme in a few blogs, and uninstall it, it disappears for all of them. Which can be a pain if you're not careful. On the other hand, you only have to install the theme or plugin once to have it available for multiple blogs, which kinda makes up for that.

    Each blog has to be administered independently from the other. Which means blog1 can have a certain plugin enabled for it, and another ignores the plugin completely. Same with themes.

    To understand how it works - if you were to look in the database for the wp-hive install, you would see many different tables with similar names. For instance, a table called abc-options and another table called xyz-options. They contain the same basic information, but for separate blogs (abc blog and xyz blog in this case). Each table is accessed by the same wp-hive admin panel, but starting from the login for each blog (abc/admin.php vs. xyz/admin.php). Wp-hive tells the admin panel with of the table series to use.
