[quote author="mhulse" date="1261926957"]I just realized that I should be using multiple application folders for my different projects, vs using sub-folders in my controllers and views folders.[/quote]

Well, not sure if this will help other noobs, but...

After a few hours of forum searching, this technique worked well for me:

Specifically post #7 and #8.

This technique looked interesting:

But I opted for the first one because it seemed less complicated.

I really wish I could use the symlinks technique on my host. That seems like the best solution.
