   Okay, I am stumbling through multi user setup and just when I think I've got it, something else is wrong.

   Basically, I got it all working and my main site (http://www.dreamwell.com/ - which was initially broken) is now OK. But when I went to create my first sub blog, the email I got says:

   Your new Dreamwell Theatre Sites site has been successfully set up at:
   http://board.dreamwell.comdreamwell_wp/
   You can log in to the administrator account with the following information:
   Login Here: http://board.dreamwell.comdreamwell_wp/wp-login.php

   Why is "dreamwell_wp" being tacked on the end of dreamwell.com? If I remove it from the path and just go to http://board.dreamwell.com that doesn't work either/anyway, btw.

   For reference, here are the content of my .htaccess:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
   # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1 [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule ^ - [L]
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]

   And here are the contents of my web config (I am going to guess this is where I've gone most wrong. I can already see the line that pertains to subdomains but I don't know what to do now that I already have it set up, or what the correct line would be.):

   /** Enable or disable Worpress Multi-site features **/
   define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
   
   define( 'MULTISITE', true );
   define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
   $base = '/';
   define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'www.dreamwell.com' );
   define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
   define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
   define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

   Thanks you for setting me straight, anyone who happens to be trolling for WP multi user noobs to help out.

   1) Why is "dreamwell_wp" being tacked on the end of dreamwell.com? If I remove it from the path and just go to http://board.dreamwell.com that doesn't work either/anyway, btw.

   It's an issues with Dreamhost's One Click in stall option. it adds your database name to the confgi file with the same variable name that multisite uses. OPen up wp-config.php, scroll to the bottom, find the line that says $base = dreamwell_wp and REMOVE IT.

   2) How do I make it so http://www.dreamwell.com/ AND http://dreamwell.com/ (no www's) both go to the main site?

   redirect people to the main page. Open up that config file again and add this line:

   define( 'NOBLOGREDIRECT', 'http://www.dreamwell.com/' );

   3) I had intended to used the sub-directories instead of the subdomain structure, but I see this was set up with sub domains. Can I modify this or should I just remove my additions to the web config and .htaccess and start over?

   You can change it without starting over. Find this line in the config file:
   define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
   Change it to false.
   Go back to the network menu item and get the new htaccess rules and paste them in the htaccess file.

   you will get a /blog/ stuffed in the permalinks on the main site.

   I also edited your post to remove the non-relevant sections, as posting your db passowrds in publicx is a bad idea. ;)
