sub.domain.com will still have its own admin panel.
but yes, multisite is one way you could do it.

Could I somehow put “the loop” (i think that’s what it’s called? i mean the code that inserts the posts) on the blog page rather than the main index page?
If you want a static main page and the blog off somewhere else, then you do not need two sites.
you just need to set a static main page under Settings -> Reading, and use a page template to show blog posts. Some themes even have it built in.
Don’t use multisite if that’s all you want.
And if all you wanted was a placeholder page at main.com, and the blog at sub.main.com…. you don’t need multisite for that either.
So consider what it is you;re trying to do, and what you want to do eventually.
Sure, you *can* use multisite for it… but if you just want one blog, and yo’ve never ever used the network before…. this woudl be the hard way.

thanks Andrea,
I set Front Page Displays to “static” page
i set the dropdown for “posts page” as “blog”
the “front page” dropdown shows all the other pages I built but not the main index page.
what will I have to do to fix this? I greatly appreciate your help.
oh and multisite is going to be used for another purpose.
thanks.
the “front page” dropdown shows all the other pages I built but not the main index page.
you have to create the the page you want to show on the front. As a Page.
i set the dropdown for “posts page” as “blog”
you also have ot make a page called “blog”, and make sure the page template for that page is built to show blog posts.
