I saw it done on the site blog.kirupa.com
but i dont know how to do it.

is there any way to do it? how to do it?

can anyone help?

thanks in advance.

Yes, there is.

After creating the subdomain, upload the Wordpress (files) on the root folder of the subdomain. And install it from there. I'm not familiar with databases, but I guess you have to create a database for the WP subdomain installation.

So, if you have a subdomain. (subdomain.domain.com).
Upload all files to that domain (via FTP or browser).
Install wordpress by accessing the subdomain. http://subdomain.domain.com/install.php or something like it and follow the installation procedure.
When completed, the owner of that WP-blog can login at http://subdomain.domain.com/wp-admin/.

If there are errors/comments/questions on the procedure. Please let me know. I'm not a web professional, just thinking that it's possible base on experiences.

You can use fantastico to add wordpress. It takes about one second to do.

To install wordpress in a subdomain just follow the following steps.

1. Create a subdomain in the cPanel, lets suppose it to be "blog.mysite . com"
2. Goto Fantastico and select Wordpress from the available list of Packages avialbe under "Blogs section".
3. Click on "New Installation"
4. In the "Install on domain" option you'll find a list of available domains and subdomains, select the one where you want to install the Wordpress. Here in our case, "blog.mysite . com"
5. Next Complete the required information and your Worpress will be installed in the subdomain automatically by Fantastico.
6. Pre-check all the info before hitting the submit button.
7. after completion you can view the Wordpess blog at "blog.mysite . com"

Hope this helped you

If you follow the above procedure can you select a different WordPress theme than your homepage?  IE blog.Mysite.Com would look different than mysite.Com?

Also - can you post seperate ads on a subdomain than a main domain.  If your subdomain is about cars and your main domain is about paint could you place ads strictly having to do with cars on the subdomain w/out paint related ads appearing on it from say google adsense?

Thanks

haha yeah. thankfully the host offers fantastico! i didnt know about this and went about installing everything on my own. Still pretty quick n' easy, haha.. though I got sidestepped along the way. Good luck with your new blog mahesh
