Other Tidbits

True Multisite

Rather than the multisite configuration, I read $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and vary the wordpress database.

This is done in wp-config.php by

$hostName = str_replace('www.', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$siteNames = array('mini.cselian.com' => 'mini', 'wp.cselian.com' => 'multi', 'tg.cselian.com' => 'tg');
$siteName = $siteNames[$hostName];

define('DB_NAME', 'cselian_wp_' . $siteName);

This keeps the dbs isolated and is especially useful for staging websites that have to be moved eventually. Plugins can be updated at once and no separate code installations are needed. The only caveat is that its hard to track which plugins are in use on which site.
