Hi
i have a wordpress site up and running and i want to link a sub domain into my site which will be a blog, i think that is what i want to do?

at the moment my home page is a sales page and what i want to do is have a link either at the top or bottom of the page that will say blog, then when the visitor goes to my blog it actually looks like a blog with all the posts listed, you know like the home page of a blog hope this makes sense, please bare with me

at the moment i have a link at the top of the sales page that has the name of the post, when clicked it goes to my post which is a whole page with my other posts listed to the side
i hope this makes sense and someone can either point me in the right direction or help me out
thanks
greg

You could do two things:

1. Try WP MultiSite:

Create A Network « WordPress Codex

2. Keep it simple and just run another install of WP on your sub-domain and link them together via the 'Blog' link

You can create another install of wordpress (as described above) on your domain in a subdirectory. Just create a new directory/folder in the root of your website and install wordpress there. That can be your blog. This will keep everything under 1 domain which is better for seo.

  If you are already using WP, why don't you just create a new page titled "Blog" and set it as your blog page? Set your sales page as the static front page.
  
  This would be the easiest solution.

I would install a fresh copy in your sub-domain. and then create a link on your main site to it.

1. Create the subdomain in BlueHost CPanel street.stephiesays.com without requesting a redirect.
2. Create a file in NotePad and put the following into it and save it as index.php

<?php
echo file_get_contents('http://www.stephiesays.com/street/');
?>
3. Upload it into subfolder "street" in your home directory
- Thanks
