I run Conquer Publishing and have a separate personal blog about self-publishing on WP. I want to move my blog off of WP.com so I can have access to plugins. Would you suggest getting a separate domain or should I just add it to the company site? Conquer, as a company, is not currently blogging. I’ve been trying to market through the personal blog. (Also, does anyone know if it’s possible to run two blogs from the same domain? Just curious.)

@markoetjens Yes, you can have more than one WordPress installation / blog on one domain by installing it in different folders.  For your situation, you could go about it three ways…  

1. Install WordPress in a folder for your personal blog on domain.com/yournameblog/, then later install WordPress for the main company blog on domain.com/blog/.  

2. Install WordPress in a folder under domain.com/blog/, then create a category for your personal blog entries.  Later, when the company starts its main blog, create additional categories corresponding to the topics that the company blogs about.  

3. Install WordPress on your own domain for your blog, then later install WordPress in a folder under domain.com/blog/.

I’ve seen where the president of the company has their own blog separate from the company before – it just depends how you want to brand it – as your own, as or as a part of your company.  Just think about whether the content you will write on your personal blog is something you would want to continue to live on under your name and as a part of your own online property if you were to later sell your company.  

@markoetjens Depending on who you host with, you should be able to see a folder structure of how your files are on your website server.  You can probably talk to your web developer / hosting company to find out more about creating a sub folder on your domain for your blog and WordPress.  :)
