  I have a bunch of blogs that I am trying to (somehow) link together. Basically I want there to be a single central “Motherblog” with links to the other sub-blogs. One thing that is extremely important to me, is to be able to see anything I post on my sub-blogs on the home-page of my “Motherblog”. Does anyone know how to do that please? Also, would anyone have any other suggestions about linking different blogs into one? (Blog domains: Main >>> http://www.designventurer.com, Subs >>> http://www.designventurer.com/prefab, http://www.designventurer.com/retrofit
  Thank you.

  From a search engine optimization standpoint, having duplicate information on the web is a really, really, really, really bad idea. Your blogs end up competing against one another for the search engines’ attention and they all end up suffering with lower search engine ranking.

  What you can do is every time you make a new post on one of the blogs, use the “reblog” feature to post a snippet and link to that post on the motherblog. In that way, you aren’t competing with yourself.

  As far as linking, create custom menus on the blogs and then use the custom link feature to create links to the other blogs in the top navigation.

  And actually, none of the above applies to you because those blogs are self-hosted. Self-hosted blogs are supported at http://wordpress.ORG/support/ . These forums are for those that are hosted here at wordpress.COM, and things here work differently.

  Well, the duplicate content part of it is still true, no matter where you are hosted.
