A few posts caught my eye today, and I thought I’d share the good ones. Posting to WordPress MU by Email – which, has been done, but this is more an experiment to make it way easier and automated. Migrating a WordPress MU, WordPress or BuddyPress site from localhost to a live site – Dave [...]
Need to build a dev site?
