Is Subdomains each link you have on your site to a different page?

Imagine you have a website with the URL www.mywebsite.com</A>
Now let`s say you want to add a blog to your site, with the URL of blog.mywebsite.com. That would be a sub-domain. If instead your blog URL is blog, it is not a sub-domain.
The best example I can think of is Yahoo. mail.yahoo.com and news.yahoo.com are sub-domains of the www.yahoo.com</A>.
CraigL... This is how I understand it... I have a subdomain because I have built a personal website that I direct friends and family too. If I used "ElusiveTreasures.com/personal" the content would be held on the server of ElusiveTreasures.com. Since my store is held on that server it`s in a secure location. That means my personal site would need to be secure (if placed on the secure server). Therefore I created a subdomain such as http://personal.elusivetreasures.com (of course it`s not really "personal" for my subdomain.). This allows all content for the subdomain to reside on an unsecure server. (there`s really no reason for security of my personal pages. so I don`t want to pay for a secure server space.)I don`t know if those reasons are completely correct, but that`s my reasoning.
