Published by November 22nd, 2007 in UMW Blogs, wordpress multi-user and wpmu. 4 Comments…R-S-S-I-N-G.
I happened upon Middlesell early this morning (this site is an independent homepage for UMW students established by the inimitable Bobby Durette) only to discover that posts from around UMW Blogs are being fed into this space. How fascinating!
Now it really shouldn’t come as a surprise to me, for Bobby is a remarkable guy [...]

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 [...]
From Alex Ragone’s post Not Drupal, WordPress MU (emphasis mine):
