Multiple Blogs

[anand]

Hi,

I was going to install Wordpress on my website and i had some doubts regarding the features.

1) Can i create the blog site using sub domains? How do i do it?

For example, i want all users to type blog.mydomain.org to reach my blog site.

2) I have about 10 users who want to create their own blogs. Can i do that on blog.mydomain.org?

For example,

blog.mydomain.org/john
blog.mydomain.org/peter

Thanks.

Regards,
Anand

Let me address your questions one by one:

>> 1) Can i create the blog site using sub domains? How do i do it?

Yes, you can do so without a problem. You would first need to create a subdomain using your cPanel -> Subdomains section and then use Fantastico to install WP under the subdomain as target domain name.

>>2) I have about 10 users who want to create their own blogs. Can i do that on blog.mydomain.org?

Yes, you can do so by selecting the folder while installing wordpress in the Fantastico autoinstaller. For example, selecting john as destination folder (not folder, not domain) will create blog.domain.com/john

Many thanks Val for your answers. There are really helpful.

Just one last thing,

If i have 10 users as mentioned before, does that mean i have to install Wordpress 10 times in different folders?

Thanks a lot.

Yes, I'm afraid you will need to install them one by one :)
