I've fallen in love with Wordpress, and have decided that using it for 3 different parts of a big site that I have is a lot better idea that doing it how I have it right now. Is it okay to have 3 wordpress blogs on one site? Would it be better to just have the seperate pages as I have now?

 

Are there any drawbacks?

 

Here is the main layout of the site:

 

1) Home page, contact, FAQ, about, privacy -- all that boring stuff

2) Forum

3) Ecommerce store

4) Library

5) The Cave

6) The Zone

 

Library, Cave & Zone are all pretty huge sections (or will be) and they are the ones I want to use Wordpress for.

I think that having it all on one site would work, so long as it wasn't horribly cluttered. You might get more crossover visitors that way.

 

I can't think of any drawbacks off hand, except the possibility of everything just getting too busy looking.

Well, the wordpress scripts would all be running on the same site / domain name.

 

I'm not quite sure why it would get busy looking though. I mean, the navigation menu would have 6 or so things on it, and the home page would basically highlight what the sections were with a little content blurb or something.

Hmmm well I'm no expert on that matter, but the first thing that came to mind was the same thing that was mentionned; as long as it's easy to navigate and doesn't make anything incoherent, then it should be all good.
