As we’re approaching the end of the first month of the WordPress MU plugin contest, we’ve got more great prize-pool news!
Lisa Sabin-Wilson, of WordPress for Dummies fame has donated $200 :)

Good post on WLTC about using conditions for plugin output in themes.

This version will only work with WPMU2.6.x

However, I’m personally not going to be rushing into any upgrades from WPMU 2.6 based sites, there’s a lot more involved in upgrading WPMU rather than regular WP and if it [...]

Just quickly, as a short interlude from the plugin contest, some theme news.
We’ve heard that quite a lot of people liked the Edublogs homepage theme (and why not, it took a heck of a while to build!) so , we decided to make it available on WPMU DEV Premium.
A couple of years ago we actually [...]

Well, we’ve had a busy few days on the WPMU Plugin Contest front!
Not only have we had several excellent entries from Donncha (MU domain mapping) and dsader (Limit Users per blog, Toggle admin menus sitewide and Limit post revisions sitewide) but we’ve also had another $150 added to the prize pool ($100 from Trent Adams [...]
