If you’ve stumbled your way here, I’m looking for reader feedback. If you’ve got questions about wordpressmu and can’t seem to find the answer, I’ll try and help.
The only caveat is, I’ll stick to the distributed codebase. I can point out, however, if you need a plugin or not and where to find it - if it exists.

Andrea_r,
thanks for your notes on the forum - I’m thinking now that I will document a local install and push it out to my website - but I’m sure everybody does something different with their local installs. So…my feedback: I’d like to see how you would run MU locally, in as much detail as you can bear.

Andrea,
I think what you are doing here is awesome. I am running a WPMu installation at the University of Mary Washington (http://umwblogs.org), and will be using your sage advice here regularly. Thanks for the great tutorials.
I will be writing some that are more specific to education WPMu installs, but borrow at will, most of my blog posts about WPMu can be found here:

Andrea,
Great idea for the site. Have just entered into working with WPMU, I can say that more tutorials and HOWTOs would definitely be of interest.
In particular, I’d love more info about how to customize the “home” portal page. Right now I’m just stumbling along trying to figure it all out. For instance, it doesn’t seem that you can apply a theme to the “home” portal page in the same way that you can to regular blogs. It works differently and applying a theme destroys the home portal page that you had. I also want to do things like add the list of recent posts to the portal page, which I gather from browsing through the codex that I can do by adding some of the code snippets found there onto my portal page. I’d also like to install things like:
- site-wide search (i.e. across all blogs)
- site-wide RSS feed (for someone who wants articles in all blogs)
- tag cloud across all blogs
A series of articles about how to add those elements to a WPMU installation would be great to see.
For some of what I personally am looking for in a blog portal, you can see the page I put up on The NewPR Wiki at:
http://www.thenewpr.com/wiki/pmwiki.php?pagename=CorpBlogPortal.HomePage
I’ve also been blogging about this subject on my own blog at:
http://www.disruptiveconversations.com/blog_portals/index.html
Anyway, if you are looking for a direction in which to write more, a series of posts about all of the “cross-blog” capabilities of WPMU would be most welcome.
Again, thanks for creating a great site!
Dan

Hi There
I am looking into the validity of using WPMU as a guild website. I think the whole forums/gallery structure is dated and is also ruined by spam bots these days.
WPMU looks like it could be a nice way to have a site with each guild member having their own blog.
My main concern is taking the information from all these members and displaying it on a main page.
Admin aside, I do not really want or need the “primary” blog as I would have my own blog like other users.
In fact I would prefer the site have a static main page. with maybe just the latest blog posts listed.
My question is, how can I pull the content of the various blogs onto the sites main page or a static page and remove the main page “blogginess”?

Hello,
I have a couple of standalone wordpress blogs. Is there a way to turn in into a single WPMU installation?

Hi, thanks for the site.
I’ve just started playing with a new site developed on WPMU. I’ve managed to integrate BBPress fine, but I’d also like to integrate wiki software of some kind — all three sharing sign-ups, etc.
Any leads or tutorials?
