A Newbie Question – Pages and Subdomains

  • Hello, I am a newbie to WordPress but from all that I have read so far it seems like a wonderful thing.

    I have a few questions on implementing it in a certain way though:

    I would like to set up a site with a static front page (moo.com) with a weblog on a subdomain (log.moo.com) and use WP for changing content on other subdomains (audio.moo.com), (about.moo.com), (resume.moo.com), etc.

    Can WP be used as a CMS to run all of these “pages” on subdomains?
    Will it require multiple installations of WP? i.e. a new installation for each subdomain?
    Would it be better (easier) to forget the subdomain structure and just use (moo.com/log), (moo.com/about), etc.?
    If it can be done using subdomains are there specific plugins that I will need to accomplih it or can WP do it “out-of-the-box?”

    Thank you for any responses,
    Scott

  • Unless you have a very specific reason to do subdomains, I’d go with reflecting your structure in the url (moo.com/log).

    I don’t know of a way to run one install and get things delivered in subdomains (which is not to say it’s not possible, *I* just dont’ know of a way).

    I suppose the only specific reason would be to keep things more structural … I like the idea of subdomains being entities which keep information from the main page of the site. They also seem more logically correct.

    resume.moo.com seems better to me than moo.com/resume. I’m not sure I can explain why.

    Thank you for the reply, though. Perhaps I need to change my perception of things ??
