Posted on May 22, 2010 by Reverend

So while playing around with WordPress 3.0, beta 2 tonight, I tried out the new Custom Menu feature within the Appearance section, and I have to say I’ve been waiting a long time for this kind  of functionality. Finally you … Continue reading → Continue reading →

A Useful Plugin: ShowID for Post/Page/Category/Tag/Comment plugin

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Reverend

I find myself in every recent version of WP (and WPMu) searching for the ID numbers for various pages, posts, categories, and/or tags on a number of occasions. I’m not sure when this feature got dropped from the core, but I do remember it was at one time part of the edit post/edit page [...] Continue reading →

NextGen Gallery

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Reverend

have been envying Lafayette College’s NextGen Gallery goodness in their WPMu Pilot, and after finally setting aside some time I installed the plugin and played with it (you can find it  here).  It worked pretty much out-of-the-box, the only issue I ran into was that I had to disable the flash uploader in the [...] Continue reading →

WPMu as OCW Platform….a solution?

Posted on July 3, 2009 by Reverend

David Wiley just blogged about using WPMu as an OCW solution, and one of the issues he is running into is directory structure. What he wants is each department to have its own parent blog, and then child blogs within each department space. For example: http://ocw.byu.edu/math (a department blog) and http://ocw.byu.edu/math/math101 (as a blog within the department [...] Continue reading →

Archiving ain’t easy: bringing old one-off WP sites into WPMu

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Reverend

Every Summer we try and both update and archive some of the old projects we have on the various Bluehost accounts we have done over the last 3 or 4 years. It is a painstaking process, and when you have anywhere from 50-100 WordPress one-off blogs, MediaWiki installs, Drupal sites, and phpbb forums out in [...] Continue reading →

Mapping a domain within a mapped domain

Posted on May 18, 2009 by Reverend

So, I was wondering whether or not it would be possible to actually map a domain within a mapped domain on UMW Blogs, and I finally got my answer at the Faculty Academy workshop I ran on domain mapping.

What the hell am I talking about? Well, it’s pretty simple, we currently have two WPMu sites [...] Continue reading →

Building the Syndication Bus: Plugin Ingredients

Posted on May 9, 2009 by Reverend

While at Duke, UVA, and more recently the University de Mayaguez—I’ll post about that event as soon as I finish traveling—the most common question people had for me was how can they design/build the “Syndication Bus” for WPMu. Well, this is probably a multi-post affair, but to get the ball rolling and to do [...] Continue reading →

It’s a fine looking educational publishing paltform, and I really like the way their pilot includes academic courses, administrative offices, student groups, and [...] Continue reading →
