How Do You MU?

So far, due to restrictions in either EduBlogs or WPMU, I’ve been unable to edit the theme (although I did find one of my favorite themes among those James had uploaded) or to use plugins (unless James has installed some and I’ve been using them all along). In some ways, this has been positive. It has meant that I’ve devoted my blogging time to blogging, rather than to blog admin.

But I do there are some things that I’m used to being able to do at my main blog that I am beginning to really miss not having here. Here’s the top of my list.

• Being able to select an image with a few clicks from the Write Post screen. I use a plugin (iimage) for this.
• Having images, whether they are selected as above or linked to at Flickr or Amazon or elsewhere, be styled as I like them. I edit the theme CSS for this.
• Getting traffic stats. I use StatCounter for this, and it requires editing the template. There are also plugins that do this. It would be great if there was a plugin that provided feed stats as well, but I don’t think that there is.
• Tagging. I use Bunny’s plugin to allow me to enter tags when I post. I don’t miss this enough to have used any other method of tagging, though.
