# Partial Installation, Including Subdomain

 * I have three separate WordPress installations up and running now. It’s much more
   user-friendly than I expected. But I now want to do a custom installation and
   need some guidance.
 * I have a domain – [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com) – that’s very
   developed. I THINK I might like to convert it to WordPress some day, but I have
   a lot of hoops to jump through. So I don’t want to do it yet.
 * At the same time I DO want to go ahead and add a WordPress blog to the site. 
   I would tentatively install the blog on a subdomain – blog.mysite.com. However,
   I could probably install it at another location, like [http://www.mysite.com/blog](http://www.mysite.com/blog).
 * So here’s my plan:
 * 1. Delete my entire site.
    2. Publish WordPress in its place. 3. Set WordPress
   up on [http://www.mysite.com](http://www.mysite.com), with a blog channel at 
   blog.mysite.com. 3. Create a WordPress home page. 4. Then republish my entire
   site.
 * At this point, my site should be exactly like it was before, except the home 
   page will be a WordPress page.
 * I think I should be able to do that fairly easily, but I have two questions…
 * 1. How would I set the blog up on a subdomain?
    2. I currently have a .htaccess
   file that allows me to display pages at URL’s like mysite.com/world/france, mysite.
   com/georgia, etc. When I republish my .htaccess file, is it going to cause problems
   with WordPress?
