There are 2 ways have multiple blogs.
1. Conventional ways like other CMS software is to install a separate directory for each blog on our server. The only difference is that we have to install plugins for each blog separately also.
2. Taking advantage of the Nucleus CMS system, we can create blogs within the original blog. Using 1 set of plugins for all blogs, 1 skin directory and media... to be short, 1 single directory for the system.
Assuming we installed our first blog successfully and can login to the admin area.
There are 2 ways to create the new weblog.
1. From the Nucleus management
2. From the shortcut "New Weblog" on the side bar. Both will come up with the same screen.
Enter everything and click create, we will have the confirmation 2 blogs in the admin home.
If we use the default skin-based we should see our blog displays 2 blogs
If we want to add another blog, then again back to admin, click New Weblog
Repeat all the steps then we now have 3 blogs.
Again, we will see 3 blogs on our final website.
With this type of set up, we need to customize our RSS also. All blogs should be set up and...

When we put a "subscribe to RSS" link on sub-blogs of our Nucleus CMS system, which means all other blogs are in the same directory as the 1st Nucleus Blog, they're all re-direct to the first blog, Ftruscot show us the way to overcome this problem.
We have 5 blogs resides in 1 directory http://ltooz.com/ltooz341/
May be we should have made seperate directory for each blog like
http://ltooz.com/audis, http://ltooz.com/nucleuscms, etc.
Normal code for original code should be
<div id="rss"><a href="<%blogsetting(url)%>xml-rss2.php">Subscribe to RSS</a></div>
We have to change it to
<%if(skintype,error)%>
<%elseif(skintype,member)%>
<%else%>
<div id="rss"><a href="<%sitevar(url)%>xml-rss2.php?blogid=<%blogsetting(id)%>">Subscribe to RSS</a></div>
<%endif%>
Now every blog works.
Thanks Frank!!!!

In order to use the security plugins, we need to upgrade to the newest version V3.51 that solve a few bugs with the V3.50 which we skipped from V3.41. The instruction on the website is very clear. Anyhow, we just want to show it here: 2 files needed upgrade-scripts and upgrade-files and language if you're running other than English like english (utf 
.
1. Load the upgrade-scripts to http:/mydomain/mynucleus/nucleus/ and extract the zip file there
Go to the address bar and type in http://mydomain.com/mynucleus/nucleus/upgrades/index.php and execute. When it's done it should show this
2. Delete the upgrades folder
Extract upgrades-files to the http:/mydomain.com/mynucleus/ and we should see all the files
Select all and copy
After all the files are copied, it's done. The next one is to install/reinstall the new plugsins: NP_Ping & SecurityEnforcer

If we want to test out the skins, plugins or any other codes before we put on our actual website, we should install the apache server & sql software to run nucleuscms OFFLINE. If we are installing to a usb so we can take it anywhere then download the light version, otherwise, I install the full version. Since I'm going to install the version 3.51 on my local hard drive, I'll show you how I do mine as I go. First we need to download the version 3.51 to the hard drive. If we plan to use perl module, install the full version, the light version needs to down load Tomcat and install as a plugin (movabletype use perl extensively, we need the full version). The tricky part is to answer the configuration question, "y" or "n" for "hard drive" or removable "USB" drive.
This is the full version
If we installed the xampp in a usb flash drive, then we must say "y", if we installed the xampp in the C: drive, then we must say "n". This is where we may get confused and answered wrong.
When everything is installed correctly, it should ask to put a shortcut on the desktop,...

Well, after we installed Nucleuscms on our server, we have the basic page with yellow banner. How do we start? There is a basic userguide that we should read first. We should be able to create blogs, categories, items, using plugins to enhance the blogs looks & feels & functionality. CMS is Content Management System which means the ways to display the content on a website (pages). What are the types of contents that a normal person should have on his/her website: words, pictures, videos, music?
- Modifying default skins: We like the default skin, it does have the admin and add item on the sidebar when we logged in. It's easy to be modified after hours of trials and errors
.
- Create blogs within original blog.
- Plugins: The ones that we need, although there are tons more.
- Video.
- Music.
- Pictures in NucleusCMS.
- Extras.
When we have time we will update each of these one by one.

After many trials and errors with a few blog software: joomla, mambo, wordpress, b2evolution... we decided to go with Nucleuscms system. Although it's not well established as others, but to us, it has most of the STUFF we want and it's very easy to customize. The system is basic, there are many skins and plugins to make the website wonderful, but the documentation is not clear and it does take a non-programmer, non-webdesigner, a long time to implement all the nice things for the website. This write up is to document STUFF we've learned while experiencing with this software. We hope this documentation will help people to use this fine Free Content Management System easily & promote it widely.
There always are many ways to skin a cat as they say, this is the way we skinned ours, so please, use ours as a reference only.
Alright, if you're setting up this system with justhost.com then just follow what we do, if not, start to install the system from nucleus installation.
We can summarize the manual installation above as follows:
- Create a nucleus folder in your server public root directory/unzip the nucleus V3.50 installation package in this folder/you should have all the...
