Tale of the FeedWordPress Tape

Well, I have finally gotten a free minute to get this all down, and get it down I will in hopes that I can drum up some help and support in working through a couple of the issues we’re having with FeedWordPress. So, [...]

WPMu Sitewide Tags, Feeds, & Archives! Oh, My!

So….so so so so so so, it’s time for a little walk down WPMu history lane. Last year at this time I was desperately scrambling for a way to have sitewide tags for UMW Blogs. I found the solution in Dr. Mike’s hack shared on the WordPress forums here, but it was kind of a [...]

Self-Service Feed Aggregation with WPMu

This post will detail how to create an aggregator site wherein people can simply add their feeds to a site and have their content automatically re-published. This example is specifically for WordPress and/or WordPress Multi-User. It depends upon three plugins, so download them ahead of time from the links below:

Well, it took us over a year, and with several iterations along the way, but I think UMW Blogs will now be able to provide dead simple aggregation of posts from numerous, distributed blogs with very little work, but a little bit of money for the plugin extension ($50 to [...]

Clouds of Fear

The State of the Union Tag Cloud post by Jim Coe over at Bionic Teaching speaks for itself:

These terms (they bigger they are the more they were used) say a lot about the rhetorical tenor of our leaders and the fact that rabid nationalism, war-mongering, and unchecked aggression are still quite popular in Washington. Moreover, [...]

Here are two examples of this tag-based feed. Andy Rush [...]

Doing Things with Tags in WPMu 1.3

I discovered two cool things today that have to do with WPMu and tags.
First, that WPMu 1.3 (and WP 2.3 for that matter) comes with a stock widget for a tag cloud that doesn’t require a plugin or anything. How did I discover this? Well, UMW History professor Sue Fernsebner had it in [...]

UMW Blogs Upgraded to WPMu 1.3

Well, it took long enough, but UMW Blogs is now running WordPress Multi-User version 1.3. We had to be a bit more careful with this upgrade because we are now supporting close to 800 blogs, so I actually took a page out of Patrick’s book (since I am on vacation and have had some down [...]

WPMu: Sitewide Tags, Search, and Archive

Sitewide tags is a feature of UMW Blogs I spent a bit of time working on this past Summer. In fact, one particular workaround allows you to have a sitewide tag cloud as well as sitewide searching of blog posts and a dynamic archive of posts–all without any hacks to the core files of your [...]

Tags are a beautiful thing

Tags on UMW Blogs are divine!

I had labored over the sitwewide tags for well over a month to no avail, today was my first day on the forums in WPMuDev Premium, and within half an hour I had the fix. I feel like UMW already owes James Farmer so much for all the amazing [...]
