   Hello and thanks for the help in advance.

   I designed websites in the past for freinds, but now I want to put my own site plus use wordpress with it.

   What I want to know is this possible with the software:
   -I will have a main site called example http://www.homehomes.com

   -then there will be subdomains such as ny.homehomes.com and boston.homeshomes.com

   - i want to create home pages for each of the subdomains with links concerning that sub domain going back to my wordpress blog about the homes in those cities.

   -every city will have its own subdomain home page that will go back to a catergory in the main blog

   Could someone tell me if the software could handle or even do something like this?

   Thank you for your time !

   just to avoid any confusion i do not own the real domain of homehomes com. I may have just helped them with their linking building by mistake. :)

   couple questions.. is ny.homeshomes.com goign to be populated by WordPress generated content? or is that going to be stand alone content that you have created with something else?

   I have never attempted to do any rewrite stuff with wordpress, that would result in permalinks like that, ie

   ny.homeshomes.com/this-house/

   where ny might be the category, and this_post is the slug.

   It will have some wp content related to each page.
   For example:
   ny.homehomes.com, the sub domain of homehomes.com, will have links to any of my blogs concerning homes in NY. The same page will contain video of homes in NY. I will be designing home or land pages for each of the subdomains.

   I'm basically trying to put links on subdomain pages that I will desgin that will lead the reader back to the home blog via the catergory related to that page.
   An example

   -user visits ny.homehomes.com which is the subdomain of homeshome.com
   -user clicks on new post concerning blog about property taxes in NY on the subdomian page
   -link leads to the post on the main blog whcih is also the catergory for house in NY

   I just want to know if this is possible with this software. Just creating a basic html/php home page and supply links that go back to caterogies at the main domain site.

   I hope that made sense

   thanks!

   It will have some wp content related to each page.

   That isnt what I asked, and thats integral to the answer.

   I asked if that content would be generated by WordPress., ie if you are going to be using WordPress to make that content, either via a page or a post.

   Im asking because IF thats the case, than you **may** need to rely on WP rewriting the urls. Whereas if youre providing that content outside of your WordPress install, it's trivial to do the rewrites inside your .htaccess.

   actually, here:

   http://www.gregboser.com/wordpress-subdomain-plugin/

   that will do exactly what you are describing, so the answer is yes.

   I think you just answered my question. My goal is to basically have wp re-write the urls for me and I will update the rest of the content on the page that is in the form of videos of different areas. Thanks for the help whooami.

    What about WordPressMU? It does this by default. Each subdomain will be its own blog.
