I have a query regarding managing a wordpress setup, I am sure others have been in a similar situation and was wondering what would be the best solution.
I manage an annual festival’s website, each year has a different theme / design and event details, this is archived each year [ ie at festival.com/2008/ etc.]
Last year we moved to a wordpress platform and all was good, now have a new theme for this years festival and the new event details ready to go but I have a dillema…
Is it possible to have one wp blog with an archive of last years festival ie 2010 theme and 2010 events/pages accessed via festival.com/2010/ and this year events/pages and theme show up when visiting the main site [ ie festival.com/ ]
so i need one blog with multiple themes and event filtering
I can filter event/page by a year category but will this mess the menus etc.
or am i best off just moving the existing wp install to the festival.com/2010/ directory and creating a new blog and in the site root [ festival.com] ?
any suggestions, advice or pointers would be great,
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Personally.
I would archive the 2010/etc sites to Pure HTML.
This plugin would do the job http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/static-html-output-plugin/
This WordPress codex post describes another method. With using WordPress in its own Sub Directory and archiving sites: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Pointing_your_home_site.27s_URL_to_a_subdirectory
