Blogging is my hobby and developed many blogger blogs. TheScienceJobs.com is yet another blog based on WordPress. Your article is very informative especially the plugins section. I too uploaded many themes to my WPMU site, but the Home theme is being customized by me. I started this blog only 3-4 weeks back and adding features everyday. Thanks again. - Dr. Sabu, http://sciencetwist.com/sabu I am trying to develop a WPMU blog, url is sciencetwist.com. Blogging is my hobby and developed many blogger blogs.

Apologies for the delay in answering this. Yes, nightly load was the method used - with new or amended student/staff details added to the WPMU user database each night. Sorry your Sysadmins wouldn't support that - makes it a bit tricky....especially if your university is anything like Murdoch, where there was not a single sign on. Having another login would almost be a deal breaker for most users. *sigh* Hi Tom. Apologies for the delay in answering this.

I'm working on something that might be a little similar, so please excuse the question: regarding user authentication... I guess that nightly load was the only method you could find for this, right? Cos I'm certain that our SysAdmins would never go for that. At the moment, we're looking at separate authentication in WordPress (which defies the object of having a nifty user profile with everything on it)... or dumping WP and going in-house at some point in the future. Which would be highly costly. Do you think WPMU can be rewritten to allow comments and even users from another system, without WP actually touching that system? Interesting and useful guide, so thanks!

If only my institution, when I was still there, had approached the issue of blogs in such a systematic way. I can see things I wished I had been able to do, but as I was reminded many times "blogging isn't your job" even though without me it wouldn't have happened. Congratulations on such wonderful work.
