I think it is the bug for WordPress MU.

When I tried WordPress Single before, the post_status for page is static, but in MU, it becomes public, so that it comes out with unstable performance, I have posted the message on WordPress MU forum, hope someone will fix it.

http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/103

Tried two plugins for WordPress MU today, but found they’re something not functioning.

One is the dTree - http://www.silpstream.com/blog/wp-dtree/

After installing it, even it works “like” a tree, but the image as shown in the developer’s website does not appear to me. Also, many layouts on using dTree should be designed by the blog owner by overwriting the theme PHP. It’s two troblesome, so I will not use it at the moment.

The other one is the MU-Admin Bar:

Someone said that this plugin helps to make a header on your blog when you’re logged in, but after I activated it, I totally see nothing changed.

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.

• MU Version - http://planner4u.org/wpmu/
• Single Version - http://planner4u.org/info/

This is the first time that I formally use this kind of “blog”
Actually, the word “blog”, somehow just means “diary”
So, it’s quite confuse to separate from another.

But, to me, what I want is a place to keep my learnings on Computing and others
and this place should provide me easy to navigate methods to find my previous posts.
Let say calendar showing the date with entries,
archive on months, subjects, etc.
And, WordPress gives me these all.

So, from now all, let me announce.
