Wildcard DNS aren't set up for freeblooddonors.com
*Sigh* Why don't people follow a short simple readme...

In the <VirtualHost> section of the config file for your host there will be a line defining the hostname. You need to add the following if you want virtual hosts to work properly:
"ServerAlias *.domain.tld"
Replace domain.tld with whatever your one is, and remove the quotes.
You must add a wildcard record to your DNS records.
This usually means adding a "*" hostname record pointing at your webserver in your DNS configuration tool.
Matt has a more detailed explanation:
http://ma.tt/2003/10/10/wildcard-dns-and-sub-domains/
What's not clear here?
Try to contact your hoster and ask them to setup wildcard DNS for you.
Just my 2 cents, but... Are problems with setting up wildcard DNS really related to WPMU and have to be asked here 100s of times?
This is just a rhetorical question...
You didn't understand about wildcard domains. Are you sure that running your own WPMU installation is wise?
