OK, I'm getting there, slowly but surely . . . a few more clarifications 
please . . .

In the file wp-config.php, is this correct?:

line 14: define ('MAINDOMAIN', 'blogs.example.com');    example being my 
domain name. "blogs." ? or "blog."

line 15: define('DEFAULTBLOG', false);  shall I leave that or change to 
true when I want subdomains such as blogs.example.com

Then the rest of the instructions in the installation file (step 3] and 4]) 
are totally foreign to me. Where are codes those configured?  My Apache 
server has Web Host Administrator for the server and cPanel for individual 
domains where I can make certain changes but I have no idea what I doing 
there. Considering that the server hosts about 60 web sites, you can 
appreciate that I'm not going to be eager4 to change how the server is 
configured unless I either know for sure what I'm doing and its 
consequences for all the domains - or it is done for me by someone else who 
knows all of that.

3] Set a wildcard DNS entry for your domain, using the DNS server that you 
use for all your other DNS entries. If you are doing it by hand, the entry 
will look something like this:

*.blogs.example.com.    IN      A       123.456.789.123

4] Configure apache to have a Wildcard Subdomain Virtual Host (I just made 
up that term). It will look something like this:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName blogs.example.com
        ServerAlias *

        ServerAdmin webmaster AT example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

        <Directory /var/www/html >
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Any advice on that issue would be greatly appreciated and if someone who 
knows what they are doing wants to have the server access and finish the 
installation, I would welcome that. Just ask for the server access.

Until then, I'm kind of on hold  . . .
