When did this happen? Just a couple of days ago it seems like I noticed the WordPress MU 2.8.1 is available! Please update nag tag. I didn’t even know WordPressMu 2.8 had come out. Turns out that it has not. Most of the info in this post comes from Andrea at WordPressMu Tutorials. Another site that I have now discovered and am subscribed to. Definitely worth keeping an eye on. I will let you read Andea’s post but there are a couple of items I would like to hit on mostly because they concern me. For starters Andy over...

Well, I guess part of what I will do here is review some websites.  Well, I won’t regularly reviewing website and I don’t even know if I will call it them reviews.  Mainly because I can’t imagine really taking the time to write about any website unless I really like it. That brings us to one of my favorite websites – LifeHacker.com.  When I first found this site, and I can’t remember when or how that was I thought it had a cool name, but didn’t really understand it.  Once I got to digging around the site I realized...

I have been helping my wife and her sister work on thier new blog Twilight Sisters. They decided after having the blog up and running for a couple of days they wanted to a get a jump on having some message boards.

Since I am new to WordPress MU that is what I am primarily going to be wwriting about in the near futur probably. My site Racing News Digest has a lot of pictures associated with the main page. I use NexGen Gallery to manage those photos. Each current driver and track has a photo stored and associated with NexGen Gallery. NexGen Gallery is not important here because it does not matter how you are uploading and maintaining files, it only matters how much space you, or mor importantly, all your users are using. My Site Admin account is WAY...
