Consider a website that has multiple blogs, all of which are deployed to
the same database.

Consider that you want each blog to be a separate URL: www.blog1.com,
www.blog2.com, but you only want one database for ease of backing up etc.

So, you have one codebase, one database, but multiple sites.

You can achieve this using SITE_ID. www.blog1.com has a settings.py
with SITE_ID = 1. www.blog2.com has a settings.py file with SITE_ID =
2. In your database, there are two rows in the django_site database
table, with serials 1 and 2. The table that holds the blog entries has
a foreign key to Site, and so identifies which site the blog post
appears on.

At least that's how I used it...hope that helps clarify it a bit!
