Migrating to multiple blogs...
I’m interested in taking an existing textpattern implementation, which is effectively a single blog, and expand it to multiple blogs under separate subdomains, perhaps by each having its own section.
For example, original blog at http://www.domain.foo/ becomes a landing page with links to blogs, the original blog moves to http://blog1.domain.foo/ and a new blog is introduced as http://blog2.domain.foo/
My question are:
- How practical is it to support multiple blogs by using sections?
- what are the drawbacks? (search, about, RSS feed, homepage, plugins, etc.)
- Would be a lot simpler just to have two textpattern installations?
- What do I need to do, if anything, to allow original links from www.domain.foo to continue to work?
- http://www.domain.foo/1234/article-title still loads article id 1234
- Is there a safe way to redirect old articles to the new?
- http://www.domain.foo/1234/article-title to http://blog1.domain.foo/1234/article-title
- If linking directly to the article, does the article’s section make sure it is presented with the correct section design?

Re: Migrating to multiple blogs...
Well, that question was a resounding flop!
I guess I’m going to go with two separate Textpattern installations on the server. Probably a lot easier than trying to have a section per subdomain and also try to make plugins and everything else separate the two sections. I know I already have some plugins (e.g. tru_tags) which won’t let me partition my sections effectively.

I’ve never tried it myself but maybe ied_if_domain is what you’re looking for. I’m sure it’s been asked before so also try searching the forum thoroughly.
