    It's either or. You can't do both styles. You have to choose which one you want and then follow the instructions to install WPMU.

    For that URL, follwo the instructions in the included readme file in the download. You want the one that says "vhost" or virtual sudomains.
    Same for any language.
    You can add whatever and how many themes you want.

    Friendly reminder also that for the *.com TLD, you don't put the 'www' in there when you already have a third level name. (ie 'user') It breaks a number of DNS servers and is not acceptable under more conditions with the registar.

    thanx alot
    but what do you mean by this:====

    do you mean the subdomains will be like this:
    http://User.MySite.com?
    and will not open like this: http://www.User.MySite.com?
    what if i add it as:
    http://www.MySite.Com/Blog
    it will open with www?

    http://www.user.myblog.com will not work for 30-40% of the internet.

    user.myblog.com will work for everybody.

    'user' takes the place of the 'www'. You shouldn't be using both of them at the same time.

    It also causes issues with some search engines.
