Here is a thread on their forum about that, assuming I understood what you were asking:

I would install MU (or multiple blogs) at the point in the process that you are ready for the installation, of course.

ok... I see. I'm only expecting to do a few blogs. Installing wp - multiple installs - looks like my route. If I were a serious bloghead with ambitious plans then MU looks like the answer.

Thanks for for sleuthing Lynn.

BTW, I've read through the OPTI guide... I should manage ok.

That sounds like a good solution to me too.

Its hard to go wrong with Teli's guide

Hello Russell,
I know I'm late to the party, but I'll throw in a few cents.

If you're only looking to set up a couple/few blogs (i.e. less than 5) on a domain, then MU may just be overkill.

However, if you're looking for something lightweight to help you manage all the blogs from a single admin panel, then you could look into the .

I've used it myself and on a few clients' blogs without a hitch. Only problem is, it is such an involved plugin, it may not keep up with the WordPress releases (as you can see, the latest version is only up to 2.1). In that regard, I recommend installing the latest version of WP 2.0.x which contains the security fixes rolled into current versions and using the 2.0.x version of the plugin.

And of course, should you have any questions, you know we're here to help.
