Mike Austin sent these instructions to the blogging list a while back. They outline how to properly create a sub-blog within your MT installation on blog.uvm.edu.

Ok, if you want to create another blog under your current blog setup, you can do the following. For each of the steps below, replace “netid” with your actual netid. Go to netid.blog.uvm.edu/mt/mt.cgi Click on “Create new Weblog”. Under “Weblog Name”, enter whatever you’d like the title/name to be. For “Local Site Path”, it will default to “/var/www/html/blogs/netid/mt”. You should change that to “/var/www/html/blogs/netid/newblog”. In other words, remove the “mt” from the end, and replace it with “newblog”, where “newblog” is a name reflective of your new blog. It should contain just lowercase letters and numbers. No spaces, or other characters. For “Site URL”, it will default to “http://netid.blog.uvm.edu/”. That should be changed to “http://netid.blog.uvm.edu/newblog/” where newblog is the same string you replaced “mt” with above in “Local Site Path”. “Local Archive Path” will default to “/var/www/html/blogs/netid/mt/archives”. That should be changed to “/var/www/html/blogs/netid/newblog/archives” where newblog is the same string used above. “Archive URL” will default to “http://netid.blog.uvm.edu/archives/”. It should be changed to “http://netid.blog.uvm.edu/newblog/archives/” where newblog is the same strings used above. For “Timezone”, set it to “UTC-5 (Eastern)”. Then click on “Save Changes”. Then you can rebuild your site, and go to netid.blog.uvm.edu/newblog/ to see your new blog (there will be no content … add it through the normal blog interface).
