===What is a Sub-Site?===
A "sub-site" is a distinct section of your website that can have its own content, navigation, and permissions. You can think of your mySite as a container for document libraries and lists;  it can also contain other containers (sub-sites) which have their own libraries and lists.  Blogs, Teamsites, and Publishing sites are created as sub-sites by selecting the appropriate template when the subsite is created.  These sub-sites function just like the "top-level" sites that contain them; however, they can inherit properties from the top-level site or have unique properties as defined by you, the user.

===Why have a Sub-Site?===
A sub-site is a child container to a site, it can have different functions than the top-level site.  For example, a sub-site created with the "blog" template has a special structure that contains lists of "Posts" and "Comments", and special pages that display the Posts and Comments in a blog format. (SharePoint's blog is not fully featured, consider WordPress or Blogger as an alternative.)

Sub-sites can also have different access controls than the parent site (either more liberal or more restrictive).  This permits you, for example, to have one sub-site (say, an [[Creating a Portfolio within mySite|ePortfolio]]) which is [[Managing Anonymous Access to SharePoint Sites|accessible to the public]], but also have a team site for students working on a class project with others. which only the class members can view or edit.

===Sub-site for class collaboration===
In addition to a portfolio, a sub-site could be used by a class for collaborating around a group of documents. The mechanism to create this is the same. A "Team Site" is probably an appropriate template to choose.

===How to Create a Sub-Site===


'''To create a sub site, go to the My Home tab on your mySite.'''

|'''Step 6- Give your site a title and description.'''
Enter the last part of your site's address in the window to the right of "Web Site Address" .  This will be the site URL.

Decide who you want to give permission on your site. We recommend you leave the setting in the default state "Use same permissions as parent site". This will allow all WSU students, faculty, and staff to access your portfolio. You may also choose "Use unique permissions". This will allow you to establish [[Managing_Users_in_myClass_and_mySite|permission]]s just for those participants who are relevant to the site's specific focus. In any case, you can change permissions as needed.

Congratulations! You have created your workspace site.

You should now see a progress icon and then your new workspace site. 

You can navigate back to your mySite using the home tab.

'''Note:''' This tutorial focuses on creating a collaboration site. However, it is also possible to create other sub-sites. Of particular interest might be the use of [[SharePoint 2007 Publishing Sites]]

===Managing Permissions===
Once you have created a subsite, you can manage who can access it, and what they may do (read or read-and-write); see:
*[[Managing Group Access to SharePoint Sites]] 
*[[Managing Users in SharePoint]]
*[[Managing Anonymous Access to SharePoint Sites]]
*[[Permissions and Your MySite Blog]]
*[[Managing Permissions on MySite]]
*[[Adding SharePoint Site Access for Individuals]]
