I am currently working on our district’s wpmu installation and the main blog. I was asked by my boss to see if we can get some sort of listing of our staff’s blogs that are set to public. With a little trouble at first (not unzipping the plugin file before opening because I thought it was just a .php file on win2003 server, duh!) I was able to install a little plug-in called list-all and by following the instructions on wpmu tutorials I was easily able to create a page listing all of the public blogs!

While completing the above task I wondered how I could make the theme I was using unavailable to others because I do not want regular users to see the member listing template when adding a new page (a new page was added to the theme). Towards the end of the instructions I was presented with a link doing just that! I then went on to my next task to enable the theme for just the main blog.

I’m excited to give our staff a blogging option that is hosted in house. I plan to get more comfortable with Wordpress code and maybe even look into creating a custom plug-in…well…maybe…
