How Do You MU?

A couple of things:

• I just got email about Blog-o-matic, which I will add to the list of WPMU hosts. After a burst of new hosts a few weeks ago, this is the first I’ve heard of in a while.
• The previous post to this blog drew a comment from someone trying to set up a WPMU host, having trouble doing so, and not finding the support forums very useful. I don’t actually run a WPMU site myself. Rather, I blog at a few of them. If anyone seeing this post can help out the commenter, that would be much appreciated by at least two people.

If you want to be a WPMU host, rather than “just” a blogger, then you need to either run your own hardware, or find a hardware/operating system/etc. host. There seem to be several suitable hosts already. If you’re interested, take a look at, or keep an eye on, this topic at the WPMU forums.

Themetastic! I have to agree with James about the wider selection of themes now available here at Edublogs. I have switched to “White as Milk,” which meets my current criteria for this blog’s theme. I like the way it looks. It has the sidebar on the left; I believe that this makes the sidebar, and hence the list of WPMU hosts, more prominent than when they were on the right.
