After fighting a two-week battle on the WordPress versions, I finally chose to use WordPress MU as my own blog.
Mainly, WordPress MU provides with me the import/export functions, which to me, is very important so that I can move from one blog to another. If one day I would like to switch off, I can easily get my data from here.
However, the battle is quite hard since there are many constraints, including blocked network access in my company, limited documentation from WordPress MU.
Now, I’m mainly looking at the plugins and themes used in MU, since the settings are somehow different from WordPress Single version.
Some of the plugins I have used are:
- Plugman - http://wpmudev.org/project/Plugin-Manager
- Sidebar Widget - http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=799
More plugins I would like to look at and learn:
- Scriptaculous - http://www.silpstream.com/blog/wp-scriptaculous/
- dTree - http://www.silpstream.com/blog/wp-dtree/
For the themes, I guess it’s not that straigh-forward too, I have tried several theme, but seems the themes used in Single version is not fully compatible to MU version. I wonder what have to be changed when migrating the platform.
One example of the problem is that the page cannot appear on the header. Take a snapshot on my current page.
