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 [...]

Whew! I know a ton of people are waiting for this, so head on over to read the official announcement. There’s a huge list of new features, and I know there’s been a ton of trac activity squashing bugs, so now we can all give it a try. Most notable is a change to the [...]
New blog on the block
July 24, 2008 By
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 [...]
Banning specific email registrations with wildcards
July 23, 2008 By
One way to stop spam blog signups is to ban their email address. This can be done in the Site Admin -> Options menu. Scroll down until you find the “Ban email registrations” box. Now if you’ve run a WPMU setup for any length of time, you may already have noticed that once you put [...]
Site of the week: Warhammerblogs.com
July 11, 2008 By
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 [...]
Signup filters changed
July 10, 2008 By
I just noticed a small mention from Donncha (and the changeset) about a small wording change in the code for the signup page. The blog_id form has been changed to blogname. This will eventually affect any plugins you might have that hook into the signup process. Should be a small enough edit to fix though. [...]
WPMU 2.6 beta is out now
July 9, 2008 By
Donncha wrote here about the new MU he just released. You can read all about what he has to say, but the biggest and most noticeable to me was a bump in the version numbers. There’s also a nonce on signup to help defeat splogs and post revisioning. Bunch of goodies rolled in from regular [...]
How to hook into the footer
July 5, 2008 By
I think this comes up in the forum at least once a week, so here’s some handy tips & instructions. First though, some explanations of the terminology. Hook – what a plugin does when we want it to “hook” into, or run with, whatever wordpress is doing. Action – does what it says, it acts. [...]
How to Display User’s Blog Posts Feed on your Main Page
July 3, 2008 By
As a regular WPMU Forum visitor, reader, and contributor ( when I can add value ), I see this question asked often. I have found many threads that offer some great hints and advice, and basically tell you exactly what to do, but all the information wasn’t in one place. So, here it is. How [...]
