Admin bar
October 29, 2010 By
Coming up in 3.1 is the additional of the admin bar, similar to the one that runs on WordPress.com. Actually, it’s more than similar, they really did just pull it from wp.com and clean it up a bit. While I think it would drive me nuts on a single install, when you are running a [...]

WPMU + Buddypress + BBPress = hat trick of awesome
December 20, 2008 By
Whoa, I can’t believe I overlooked this news. (Actually, yes I can – Ron was sick, my “baby” turned eight years old, and now I’m sick). BuddyPress officially released a public beta. You can hear everyone’s buddy Andy discuss the project on WordPress Weekly. And then BBPress reached a milestone. WPMU 2.7 still hasn’t been [...]
