Time is ticking away on our great competition and today is the last day that you can enter for that chance to win yourself a WPMU DEV Membership for life. As James points out in his original post, if you’re planning on living for another 60 years (and I, for one, plan to be a cyborg by then) then you’re looking at a prize of around $25,000!
But Just What Can I Do With My WPMU DEV Membership?
An important question – and easily answered.
MarketPress – WordPress eCommerce from WPMU DEV has just been updated. As well as some minor bug fixes we’ve now included manual payment gateways. This means that your customers can now pay you using methods such as cash, check and EFTs.
To set up your new manual payment gateway, go to the MarketPress settings in your dashboard:
Single Site – Products > Store Settings > Payments
Multsite – Network Admin > Settings > MarketPress
Here you can decide which payment method(s) you want to accept:
And then you can give your customers detailed instructions about how they can get that all-important money to you:

Autoblog is a great plugin from WPMU DEV that lets you pull posts from different RSS feeds and post them to blogs across your multisite network. This has always been a popular WPMU DEV plugin that helps network administrators grow and develop their networks.
But what if you’re a single site user? Well, as part of our effort to ensure that we cater for our single site members just as much as multi-site ones, we have updated our Autoblog plugin to ensure that it can be used on single site installations as well.
Autoblog Features and Options
Sometimes you want to password protect some of your content but you don’t want to have to use a fully blown membership plugin to do so. A membership plugin, while awesome in many cases, might just be overkill when it comes to protecting sections of your post or your page.
WPMU DEV has developed a simple new plugin to password protect sections of your posts and pages without overdoing it.
Thought you guys might be interested in a quick peek behind the scenes at WPMU DEV, especially into some of the different services we use to run WPMU DEV.
Of course we use gmail, google docs, analytics, reader etc. etc. but so does everyine else… what I reckon makes a service stand out is that we’re happy to *pay for it*.

Ad Sharing is a great way to attract new users to your Multisite network. WPMU DEV’s Ad Sharing plugin lets you share a portion of the advertising revenue from your blogs with users in your network. This is a great way to share the cash-love with your network users.
Our ad sharing plugin has just had a major update. Network admins now have more control of the adverts that users are inserting into their blogs. This lets you filter adverts for any javascript or html, keeping the code that your users can insert more restricted.

Need to find out how to begin with the shiny new theme you just downloaded?
Well, the WPMU DEV team is always there with loads of live support sessions weekly, each with one of our expert developers, designers, and WordPress experts.
You could always just keep up with the latest schedule on the live support page here, but why not add our calendar to the one you already use to get regular reminders about what chat sessions are when?
Yes, you did read that title correctly.
At the WPMU DEV support forum we have added a ticketing system. This was a major request from some of our members who wanted to be able to open a support ticket and have it open until the issue is resolved. Now that’s possible! Check it out:
Thanks to all of you who filled in the WPMU DEV survey. As James talked about last week, it’s given us a lot to think about.
You know all those surveys that you fill in and you’re thinking that there isn’t much point because no one ever listens to you anyway? Well this isn’t one of those times.
You ask. We act.
This week I’m going to talk about how we’ll make your WPMU DEV Dreams come true.
