   Is it possible to have one instance of WordPress running on my main domain and a totally separate instance of WordPress running on a subdomain, running a completely different blog?

   Thanks.

   Yes. As long as they have two different databases as well. Or if you have to use one database make sure they have different prefixes. I'm already assuming your subdomain will be pointed to another area in your hosting and not in some subdirectory under your first site.

   I presume you mean: is the subdomain redirecting to another site? If that's what you mean, then no, it's not, the second instance of WP will be hosted from the subdomain, but it will not be anything to do with the main domain.

   Is that not possible?

   Yes. Its completely separate then. Its mainly up to being able to setup a subdomain on your host.
