 * Hi everyone i have read as much multisite literature as i can and think i understand
   how everything works but want to just run this past anyone with a bit more experience
   to just check that i have things correct.
 * I want to have a site with the following structure;
 * [Structure](http://twitpic.com/8v3w8c/full)
 *     ```
       Main Site
       |
       Subdomain 1     -    Subdomain 2
       |
       user blog (parent Subdomain1)
       ```
   
 * can someone please give this the eye over and tell me of any limitations i should
   be aware of. Am i right in thinking that I need multiple networks (because of
   the user blog) adding an extra layer or can you just create another child site
   from a subdomain child.
 * Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks

 * You can use a MultiNetwork plugin to make a second blog off of Subdomain1, but…
   you get that Subdomain1 is a blog, in and of itself, right?

 * Thanks, yeah i did know that and plan to use that functionality. The user blog
   is basically the boss of that branch is keen to have his own section (with its
   own menus/ slight changing of styling and such) i am trying not to add thousands
   more plugins which i know the styling issue could be solved with a plugin.
 * I will already using domain mapping so have just thought could the user blog 
   really be ‘Subdomain 3’ that just looks like it is part of subdomain 2?
 * Thanks again for your help

 * Sure you can do that. You could also use Custom Post-Types off Subdomain1 depending
   on what URL format you need for your ‘blog.’
