Thanks for the reply. I realize it would be substantially easier to use mysite.com/blog type urls, but I would still prefer use the blog.mysite.com since that is often the convention.
You bring up a good point about the authentication though. I had not thought of that. While it would be preferable to have them stay logged in across the apps, this is not terrible. Also though, I am not an expert on cookies, but can't you set cookies that were valid for a domain and all it's subdomains? I'm not sure if the cookies created by Django by default are set to work this way, but maybe there is some way to tweak Django in this respect. Also, I could be wrong about the whole thing. Again, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to figure this out. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
