One WP folder, multiple WP-based sites

Hi Zac,

Thanks for the great videos. You mention installing WP locally into wplocal.com - having one install of WP, but then having multiple sites based on this install. Can you explain how you do this?

Multisite. You have one installation with a tonne of subsites so it the domains would look like this. 

http://mainsite.com/subsite1
http://mainsite.com/subsite2

Look it up in the codex. :)
