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 [...]

A Useful Plugin: ShowID for Post/Page/Category/Tag/Comment plugin
Published by February 6th, 2010 in Uncategorized, WordPress, plugins and wpmu. 6 CommentsAn Obituary for a Plugin: Saying goodbye to an old friend
Published by August 9th, 2009 in UMW Blogs, WordPress, plugins and wordpress multi-user. 3 CommentsUpdate (2/25/10): Actually BDPRSS still works and we are still using it on UMW Blogs. My bad.
It’s kind of funny, but I’m starting to realize that I have been so embedded within the UMW Blogs experience for the last two years that I am at the point where I am able to get nostalgic [...]
NextGen Gallery
Published by July 10th, 2009 in WordPress, plugins, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 6 CommentsI 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 [...]
CUNY Academic Commons Announces WPMu-MediaWiki Single Sign-on
Published by May 26th, 2009 in WordPress, mediawiki, plugins and wordpress multi-user. 6 CommentsI missed this announcement last Thursday while traveling and getting ready for CUNY WordCampEd, but this is pretty exciting news from the CUNY Academic Commons, which promises to become a force in offering up much needed plugins and open source tool integration for open source applications like WPMu, MediaWiki, and the like.
Very cool, MediaWiki and [...]
Mapping a domain within a mapped domain
Published by May 18th, 2009 in UMW Blogs, WordPress, open source, plugins, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 6 CommentsSo, 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 [...]
Sometime in November or December of this past year Serena told be that there was a core, underground group of Bryan Alexander fans here at UMW. It doesn’t entirely surprise me given I’m one myself, but I found that the attraction to the internet’s favorite mountain-dwelling goth was not necessarily about his blog (which is [...]
An Integrated Domain
Published by March 29th, 2009 in WordPress, insructional technology, plugins and wordpress multi-user. 3 CommentsI have been thinking pretty consistently, but rather quietly about the idea of a domain of one’s own. In fact, I’m starting to read Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own for several reasons, but one of them is for some fodder for a presentation on the idea I will be doing at Duke University [...]
Mozilla Open Education course
Published by March 21st, 2009 in UMW Blogs, digital identity, e-portfolios, eduglu, insructional technology, open education, open source, philosophy, plugins, rss, tags, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 8 Comments(Jan) Philipp Schmidt of Peer 2 Peer University has organized an open course (along with Mozilla and ccLearn) focused on designing the “open educational platform of the future.” It’s a great idea for a course (especially a free one!), and I was pretty excited when he asked UMW (by way of David Wiley-thanks David!) to [...]
Hey Buddy(Press), lovin’ those plugins
Published by January 9th, 2009 in BuddyPress, plugins, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 12 CommentsIf you are playing with BuddyPress, you may want to check out the Buddy Press Dev site. It’s a community site for BuddyPress provides developers to add plugins they have developed, and leeches like me to download them and ask annoying questions in the forums—it’s awesome, at least for me This week there [...]
Wiki Inc plugin changes the labor of documentation
Published by December 3rd, 2008 in mediawiki and plugins. 3 CommentsI don’t think I have made this clear enough, so let me repeat it. The WIKI Inc plugin, developed by Enej Bajgoric at UBC, may very well change the way you look at publishing support documentation.
I just remembered that all of WordPress’s documentation is published in a MediaWiki. Think about the implications [...]
