Installing BP as a extension or subdomain?

H All,

I want to add BP to my wordpress site. But I am not sure what is the best way to do so, as an extension or sub domain. Also want to activate the blog portion of BP so the users can create their own blog. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Josh

If you want users to have theor own separate blogs, you need to create a network (enable multisite).

Then you can put BP on the main blog or one of the sub blogs fairly easily.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the links! Yes, i want users to have their own blogs, like the wordpress.com site. But also still want to have all the forums and social networking features that BP as to offer. SO where would I put the network? If I want it to look like this: userblog.mydomain.com. Would I set up the network like this: mydomian.com/network or network.mydomain.com? I am confused and thinking I am getting in over my head! Thanks foor the help!
