UMW Blogs has got a brand new bag, with no small assistance from Andy “EDU” Rush nation who turned me on to the beautiful theme PrimePress (Andy’s the go to theme guy without question), along with Serena Epstein an Jerry Slezak who provided the gorgeous header images featuring the UMW campus.

WPMu “3-in-1″ Widget: Tags, Recent Posts, and Archives
Published by August 18th, 2008 in wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 5 CommentsI already mentioned that Donncha’s Sitewide Tags plugin was going to make a whole lot of things much, much easier. Well, DSader wrapped all the awesomeness into one bitchin’ plugin for WPMu: Sitewide “three-in-one” Multi Widget Panel.

Something that is extremely exciting for me, because there are far more universities experimenting with WPMu [...]
