I believe the following to be correct:

A subdomain will access files in a directory.
subdomain1.domain.com => domain.com/subdomain1

Since a directory = category in WP, I have a question:

Won ´t all subdomain=directory automatically be realized
if I create a subdomain with a domain name directory=category
in WP?

i have a main site and i am thinking to start a blog like mainsite.com/supportingblog
supporting blog will be useful for interlinking the main site pages so that will be better for main site indexing & seo purpose

wat do u say ?

It means hosting a new blog under directory is better than subdomain.

Jaspal in that case you should consider Installing wordpress MU , I have not worked with WordPress MU personally, but I guess that will fulfill the requirement.

Thanks for your insight and thats what the reason I started with this new bollywood project http://www.chromoz.com and I started it on completely different domain. Though if sometime I might add something new to shoutmeloud. It will be something like ebook.shoutmeloud.com

I think, Focusing on one single niche is enough.. if we choose to write on different niche under different subdomains or subdirectory… we must take care that each blog is updated regularly..
