Upgrading to WordPress 3.0 and Adding Multi-Site

WordPress 3.0, code name “Thelonious”, has been released, and it brings multi-site functionality as part of the core. As someone with far too many blogs of my own, I thought this would be a great time to start switching them all over, and let you know what you’re in for if you choose to do [...]

When Your WordPress Blog Gets Hacked
