   Is it possible?
   I have a blog with two categories: A & B running off a single dashboard on a normal installation of WordPress.
   Firstly, I would like visitors to be able to go to categoryb.mydomain.com to access all of category B's post.
   However, then I want that subdomain to have a separate theme (or just some changes to the existing one).
   So once again, I ask, is it possible? Whether it's plugins or PHP code then please tell me. I know conditional tags may come into it.

   Thanks in Advance
   ~Connor

   I'm no expert at this stuff, but I don't believe you can have a different theme, but have you considered using the conditional tags for Categories in your PHP template to slightly tweak the theme?

   i.e. one of these two:

   in_category('5')
   is_category('5')

   How's your PHP?
   

   <?php if in_category('5') { ?>
      <div id="cat5">{stuff}</div>
   <?php } else { ?>
      <div id="cat_6">{stuff}</div>
   <?php } ?>

   You can make templates for individual categories and also put conditional arguments to make templates behave differently for each category - it's in the codex - http://codex.wordpress.org/Category_Templates

   Hope that helps
