We have recently finished upgrading and transferring our blogs to hosting with Webfaction. Webfaction has been a great move for us so far and our WPMU installation has been seamless. Integration of Intense Debate as our future commenting system has been a little quirky, but overall very nice. So, what’s next on our plate here at Mid-Valley Newspapers?
When putting together blogs and websites with multiple users, it’s often very difficult to figure out exactly what features are needed. Working with Wordpress MU, this becomes even more apparent with the use of MU Plugins…
I’m happy to say we are finally upgrading and consolidating our staff blogs onto a better system, in this case: Wordpress Multi-User. This serves more than one purpose. Administration will now be easier to control, as well as the design and implementation of widgets across the platform.
Our bloggers will be happy to use the new WP2.7 interface available in the WPMU install. We also will be streamlining our use of images, videos, and audio. As each new blog is transferred and placed into the “collective”, I will add them to the right hand column, under Our Projects. Enjoy!
Welcome to MVOurtown.com, home of some exciting new projects from Mid-valley Newspapers. On this site you’ll find an assortment of niche publications, resources and blogs as well as a robust social network. All these products are based on open source software and will be developed with extensibility as a foundation.
