    Hi, I have WordPress 3.2.1 installed on a Go Daddy host. The site is http://www.atypicalphoto.com .

    I'm trying to have different subdomains for different pages/categories, but I can't really figure it out. I already have subdomains set up on the host like so:

    dustin.atypicalphoto.com (root/dustin/)
    luke.atypicalphoto.com (root/luke/)

    Does anyone know how I could get this to work out?
    Thanks!

    Install WordPress in each one of the sub-domain root folders i.e., /dustin and /luke or use WPMU

    WPMU requires some up front work and the use of themes and plugins that are compatible with it.

    To create the subs manually, assuming you want them to be just like the main site but have different content (posts pages etc), copy all files from main site to the sub-folders, create a MySQL db for each, fix wp-config.php in each sub's root and then visit the admin login for each site. See this. This does of course mean you will have three sites now to manage, but can also make them unique.
