It looks like you set up your site as subdomains, not subdirectories. Looking at your main URL and the poetry sub domain, everything look fine to me. Can you link to what’s broke?
To import to the new blog, you have to go to http://poetry.saanamsmind.com/wp-admin and import from there.
To change from subdomain to subfolder, edit your wp-config.php file.
Look for define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true ); and change it to false.
Right, because you didn’t get in to the backend of the second blog. 🙂 that’s why the content is in the wrong spot. And the there issues are all related.
Check and make sure you have an .htaccess file. It’s hidden by default.
Make sure you pasted the right rewrite rules. they were on the Network setup menu screen.
If those check out, holler at your webhost support. Tell them you are making changes in your htaccess file and they aren’t being read.

This is what my .htaccess file looks like.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
This is what was given when I was creating the network. I copied and pasted it.
The reason I kept it to subdomain was because it was already under the subdomain so I didn’t think it would make too much of a difference but I guess I was wrong.
I’ll change it to the subdirectory now.

Update: define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true ); was already false. Should I make it true??
No. Leave it alone.
http://saanamsmind.com/poetry/ does exist. As does http://saanamsmind.com/poetry/wp-login.php and SO DOES http://poetry.saanamsmind.com/blog/wp-login.php
The poetry subdomain is a separate blog, and I bet that’s what’s screwing things up. You can’t have both. 🙂

I actually got it to work. The issue was when I was mapping the domain, I was putting in http://poetry.saanamsmind.com instead of saanamsmind.com/poetry as soon as I changed that, both started to work perfectly fine.
Now the issue im having is with the import. I imported from the backend and it’s fine till I get this error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8193 bytes) in /home/dreamer/public_html/saanamsmind.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-importer/wordpress-importer.php on line 100
any idea what this is about?

ohh and also, any idea how to get all my themes to work? No images are showing up for anything.
Why are you mapping domains?

Sorry not mapping domains, when I was adding the domain after the site setup with it’s ID.
Adding the domain?
There’s … no domain to add. You go in, make a sub-site, and that’s it.
Besides that, you may be having conflicts with a subdomain AND a virtual subfolder with the same name. I know on my server it does weird things if I tried that.

I followed the instructions here: http://verysimple.com/2010/07/09/install-wordpress-3-with-multiple-tlds/ and that’s what it told me to do.
Any idea what that error means regarding the import that I posted above? And how do I get the images to appear for my themes? None of the themes are showing the images. Only color and text.
But … you don’t actually HAVE multiple top level domains.
That plugin is for something like this: I install WP on http://domain1.com and use that install to run http://domain2.com and so on and so forth.
I think you’re having this problem because you’re trying to apply domain mapping to a situation where it’;s not needed, and that’s screwing things up.
Which of the following setups do you want?
1) WordPress in sub folders (i.e. domain.com/blog1 and domain.com/blog2)
2) WordPress in Sub Domain (i.e. blog1.domain.com and blog2.domain.com)
3) WordPress running multiple domains (i.e. domain1.com and domain2.com)

Option #2 and #3. Because I have two subdomains under saanamsmind.com (http://poetry.saanamsmind.com and http://kitchen.saanamsmind.com) and then I have two domains (http://thought-frenzy.com and and upcoming site http://lifelessemotions.com)
Forget about the mapped domains for now. Work on getting the subdomain blogs working. They *have to* be working before you can map them to a top level domain.
And ditch that tutorial. Get this plugin instead because it’ll be much smoother.

What she said.
Also, I’m 90% sure you have a blog already installed at http://poetry.saanamsmind.com/ and, if so, you’ll need to export the posts from it and kill it with fire so we can replace it with a subdomain handled by the same WordPress install that runs http://saanamsmind.com/
