WordPress Wednesday : WordPress MU Supercharged!

Published on Wednesday, June 11, 2008

You probably already know that we support (and love!) WordPress MU (Multi User) and support it on our servers. (Our tutorial from start to finish, plus tips and tricks, is in our forum here.) For today’s WordPress Wednesday, we found a very interesting package of plugins to turn your install of WPMU into a social networking powerhouse. And it’s fast and easy to get your new community started! Say hello to BuddyPress.

“Each member of a BuddyPress site can upload their own avatar. Avatars can be cropped to size within the browser. BuddyPress administrators can create completely customized profile templates for members. Create any number of groups and field types. Private messages are threaded like a conversation making them easy to follow. Messages can be sent using the built in TinyMCE editor. Members can send messages to other friends and groups.”

Now how fun does all of that sound? Just go to the BuddyPress website to become more familiar with it, download, and install! And don’t forget to follow BuddyPress on Twitter! (Hey now, don’t forget to follow us either!)
