[thelist] Handling multiple blogs on different domains

[Jeremy Weiss]

Depending on your directory structure on your server, you should be able to
pull this off with Movable Type. My movable type install is setup like
this...

root/blog1 <--- movable type installed here
root/blog1/blog2  <-- other blogs are in a subdirectory on the server
root/blog1/blog3
root/blog1/blog4
root/blog1/blog5
root/blog1/blog6

Then when I configure the domain name I just point it to root/blog1/blogXXX.
I'm sure there are other ways of accomplishing the same thing, this was just
how I happen to have stumbled through it.
