Lyceum-users mailing list

["Elaine Nelson" <epersonae AT gmail.com>]

I think I like the alias idea, although I have a few other ideas kicking around to potentially play with.  (we are using aliases already to handle multiple instances of Drupal, so it's a familiar methodology.)

Thank you for giving me some good ideas, and for helping me think through this.

if the lyceum webroot is /lyceum then any blogs would be at
/lyceum/blogname though you could always set an alias in the server
configuration to forward /athletics to /lyceum/athletics and such

That solution was assuming you would integrate your main page with the
lyceum portal and thus make it your new 'main page' - however you could
also go the other way and integrate some of the portal - or just link to
it - in your current main page.
