Probably there will be some slightly different content on them, but the biggest part (the image galleries) will be the same. If different themes/CSS (and positioning of elements) can count as making the sites different for Google, I think I can fix that just by making small layout changes or something (which I would do anyway). It won't make sense to have too many differences in content, if the content is that different they are better be treated as 2 different blogs and have 2 different installs. Some solutions I've seen seem to work best when you have something like a domain where you offer "free blogs" to subscriber or something (or if you have many blogs controlled by yourself but absolutely different in content), these plugins seem to be more like something that let's you install a "master" installation of WP (what one would call the core files, I guess) then your users blogs would be installed in different folders of this same installation, and WP would treat them as different blogs although general management could be done by the site admin. A very simple option is just to set one of the domains to be forwarded to the other, but this is not also a good practice for Google I think mostly if you use javascript redirection I think (I read about this at Google somewhere). Also I could just copy and paste stuff from one admin panel to the other, but it will get boring after some time and there's always something that will be missed/skipped, doing it as automated as possible is what works better I suppose.

You might want to take a look at the features in WP 3 particularly the integration of WP Mu it might be better suited for you. You don't say whether your site has links but obviously you'll need to check that and use a plugin like redirection to make sure that you don't lose them. The issue with Google as I understand it is of duplicate content. If you have posted unique content on one site then post it again on the other then it will not give the same vote to the second site. You can change that by adding more content or uniquifying the content you can use the manage multi blogs plugin to post to two blogs at once.

I have a site to post my fractal images that has been active for some time (www.fractalland.com), and then I've created another domain to make some kind of clone of that site in another language, but later (about a month ago, actually) I decided to use this new domain (the one listed as my domain in this post) to test a new format to update my image galleries because I was getting tired to deal with all that CSS/HTML things whenever it was time to post a new image gallery, and with a blog system it would be much easier to manage. But now I want to keep the old site, with the same contents as the new one, as it's older and already indexed by search engines and linked elsewhere etc. etc. so I'd like to do something like post some gallery and this post would appear on both blogs at once. Would just an install of WP in that other old domain pointing to the same database of the new one work? Will there be a conflict? I know that with PHPBB forums you can do that - the forum/install A or B or C will read the posts that are in the database you've specified. If this is not entirely possible as in to clone everything at once, I'd like at least to try to clone some posts (mostly the posts with images). I read somewhere that this can be dangerous if Google thinks you're trying to spam several blogs with your content... but I'll be using just 2 blogs, no more than that.
