bavatuesdays on WPMu

After far too long, I finally ported bavatuesdays over to my WPMu installation using the mapped domains hack. It wasn’t as painless as I would have liked because I have no understanding of MySQL, but despite my dearth of knowledge it worked pretty well –though I have some major clean-up to do.
The upside is I [...]

Talking, sharing & being taught WPMu @ NV 2008
