Reverend Jim’s resources

If you haven’t found him yet, the Reverend Jim Groom writes a highly interesting blog and posts in great details about his various adventures with WordPressMU. Just lately, he’s posted a screencast of upgrading and how to set up a multi-lingual install. The entries about educational anarchy and B-movie horror films are kind of a [...]

Introducing Ron

If you’ve read any of my posts here or in the forums, at some point I’ve mentioned my husband Ron. Sometimes he’s known as my in-house programmer, my code monkey, or even Mr. Andrea. Now you too can be elucidated by his introductory post over at WPMU.org, entitled Less is Better. Yeah, he’s the minimalist [...]

New blog on the block

You’ve probably heard, but James and Andrew at Incsub have taken over wpmu.org. This is great news! For one, it brings the total number of WordPressMu-related blogs up to two*, and for another – well, they just have awesome ideas, give back to the community, and I’m sure will be fantastic all around. Why, just [...]

Site of the week: Warhammerblogs.com

Okay, I’ll be up front. I picked this site partly because it is a client’s site. The other reason? It turned out really, really well. The whole team is proud. Warhammerblogs provides blog space to fans of the game Warhammer. I don’t play this game, but I do play some other ones and can appreciate [...]

Apparently, a lot of French speakers like this [...]

Edublogs redux

I know, I know. I’m way behind in Site of the Week. But! My buddy Kevin did a review of Edublog’s *new* look. I’m still swamped – even more so, plus spring is truly here in Canada. Did I mention I like in the country next to a lake? (And I’m still looking for guest [...]

Take MU and BuddyPress for a spin

I’ve set up a test install of WordPressMU with BuddyPress added and nothing else. It uses r1219 for MU (from Friday) and r18 for BuddyPress (today’s version). You can find it at http://testdrivewpmu.com and feel free to sign up and check it out from a user’s perspective. The more people to test it, the more [...]

Site of the week: MyBabyOurBaby.com

When I first saw Beau and Ray’s site, mybabyourbaby.com, I was impressed two ways: first, as a parent and second as an MU admin. From a user perspective, it’s different from pretty much all parent/baby sites out there that I have seen, and I have four children. That’s what they did well first off: provide [...]
