   I want to install latest wordpress for multiblog feature but I am confused in sub-domain and subcategories.
   If I am choosing sub-directory then it can clash with existing tags or categories while browsinf through post and pages.
   If I am choosing subdomain then I asking to remove some restriction like wildcard in DNS system , for me that is a nightmare
   So please suggest me what to do.
   My blog http://xpressabhi.com is basically a tech blog but I want to import hindi raj comics blog to one of these multiblog for better SEO and management.

   You can create a sub domain in your website and import hindi raj comics blog there. It will be a better idea.

   Sounds like you're referring to wordpressMU. If so, try looking around http://mu.wordpress.org/.

   I use subdirectories with MU and have had no issues.

   @vpsdiscussions I can create a subdomain, you are right but it will give another username and password etc. I have to manage them as different site but with wordpress multiblog feature I need not to have another login details and I can manage both from a sinlge dahboard. Want to know more about multiblog enabling see this http://xpressabhi.com/wordpress-3-0-multiblog-enabling-problem-and-solution-654/

   @batrachoid I want to use sudmain but I want to know how and why?

   How is one thing. Why is something only you can answer ;)

   Neither one is better than the other, though subdomains don't work for all hosts. Pick the one that works 'best' for you.

   After so much effort and search I found that my blog host don't provide support for wildcard DNS support. So I switched the arrangement from subdomain to subdirectory. There is little complication. I wrote a post about it as how can we switch from one other you can refer this for your installation http://xpressabhi.com/difference-between-wordpress-multiblog-setup-for-subdomain-and-subdirectory-in-wp-config-php-and-htaccess-files/
   I hope it will help you. If yes please share with your friends, they may need it.
