   I'm trying to make a subdomain for my blog work but I'm having a lot of trouble.

   I loaded WordPress into:
   http://www.mysite.net/myblog/
   and it works fine
   I set up a subdomain for my blog:
   http://blog.mysite.net/
   The subdomain works and I get the front page of my blog. However, when I click on any links I get the old URL. For example:
   http://www.mysite.net/myblog/category/miscellaneous/

   Now, I though all I had to do was log into my admin tools page and go to Settings > General and change "WordPress address (URL)" and "Blog address (URL)". However, when I do that I get server errors and I can't log in any more to my admin tools page. I have to go directly to my MySQL database for WordPress and edit back the URL to the way it was before. I'm guessing I need to put some additional code in my .htaccess file but what code? What am I doing wrong? Please help!

   Read the codex FAQ on moving your url.

   A ha! I found the answer. In Settings > General you need only change "Blog address (URL)". You must then go to Settings > Permalinks and Save Changes and then copy the new text out of the bottom window to post in your .htaccess file. Then all is well.
