How can I use subdomain for user's blog.

Hi, Dave Cowing, your configuration may worked as this:
all the domains that matches will bring you to the same
page(front page of
roller)?

I'm not sure I understand the question.  Now that I think
about it, if you
have many people creating weblogs, this really won't work. 
If you (like me)
are hosting a single (or small number of weblogs), then this
is a good
solution.  In my case, my url would look like http://blog.example.com
and
would take the user to my default (and only) weblog in
roller.
