Good morning world
 Art - you should write up a quick tutorial on installing a WP MU setup from scratch. One day you'll be glad you'll have it to refer back to. Plus I know there's at least a few people around here who'd want a peek at it.  Fonz - It seemed like just the other day you were most famous for Cheetos and iPod smuggling. Now you have pics of a baby before it's born and you're WE-ing a new car. Man, the kids grow up so fast these days.  Just a working day here, with maybe an early knock off. I'm expecting Boondock Saints via Netflix today so that's my big plan for the evening. Yeah I mean the 1999 original. Never saw it somehow and figured I'd watch it before the 2009 sequel I haven't seen either. See, big plans. Wishing a great weekend to all.

Just work planned for me until noon when I have to pick up my daughter. Probably more work this afternoon before I too watch a movie tonight. Maybe Boondock Saints, maybe Inception. |

When I reach 25 blogs, I will do it!
The Wordpress Multi-site (AKA MU) was easy to setup and well documented. What you end up with are blogs that are housed in sub-domains or sub-directories and accessible through a Super Admin panel. The pain in ass part was the Domain Mapping plugin which directs your top level domain names seamlessly to the sub-directories/domains. The plug-in instructions are missing one small part which the screen prompts don't tell you! Fuckity-fuck, it took me a day and a half to find that out. I also tried a plug-in which was supposed to clone a site from one sub-domain to another but I had mixed results with it. It meant some restoring of backups which stole some time from me. Unless I can sort that out it will mean a bit more manual work with each new blog. Oh, well. For those who are wondering about the advantages of the WP Multi-Site functionality, you get all your plugins and the source code in one location so you update and patch your bevy of blogs just once. This is very important because WP is known for frequent security updates. Imagine if you had 100 separate WP blogs. That would mean 100 logins and updates! Also, installing a Plug-in means, in most cases, you can use it on any blog in your network. The main downside I can see is that they all reside on one IP which gives you less SEO prospects. Having said that, there is nothing from stopping you from running multiple WP Multi-site installations from different IPs. Quote:
