I'm no longer supporting WordPress but I wanted to mention this as I had been suggesting this WordPress plugin to folks in the WordPress Multiuser forums previously.

It's been announced that the wp-forums plugin is hackable and a security risk.  Considering that the author hasn't been around much, don't expect a fix for it any time soon.

I, for one, have been suggesting folks use Simple Forum instead.  There's no import route though for you to use.

Per a request for it, I've written up a WordPress plugin for adding in a nofollow tag to links to any blog with a 'wordpress.com' within the URL of the link. This was actually done for a WordPress Multiuser setup that I host so that they wouldn't get any link love. (Also because my client doesn't think much of wp.com) Install it via the regular methods. If you're running Wordpress Multiuser, I'd just drop it into the mu-plugins subdirectory. Based on the Wikipedia nofollow plugin for Wordpress

edit: I've gone ahead and removed this.  It appears some folks out there, instead of seeing how and why this plugin was offered, would rather insult me over it.  It's not worth my time.

Been playing with the stats over at daria.be today.

Worked out that the Akismet plugin has stopped a total of 213,090 comment spams from reaching the blogs.

That's a lot.

Check out the count updated on the front page of daria.be under the Site Stats header.

Well, I got tired of the old video player not working as well as it was suppose to so I've gone ahead and installed WP-ExtremeVideo here on the site. I still need to go back through and edit the CSS file because it sticks out like a sore thumb but it's up and working. The thing I like about it is that I can play videos locally as well instead of having to pull them from YouTube and Google. The code to play the videos on this end is very simple as well so I'm hoping that you'll start seeing more of them here shortly.

Check out the videos today and I'll have some more up shortly.

Check out the new Dashboard Menu we have over at daria.be. Wish the picture had come out crisper though. Instructions are here if you want to include it within your own WordPress multiuser setup.

Mohammed Suleiman gives us the WordPress MultiUser Avatar Plugin. I'm working on getting this to work on daria.be asap.

Always want a tag cloud for your wordpress.com blog? Engtech gives us a Tag Cloud Generator for your wp.com blog. Runs on Windows, Mac or Linux. It'll give you output that you can copy and paste into a text widget or a Page within your blog. Be sure to read all of the documentation as Engtech goes out of his way to answer any questions that you may have. There's also a list of advanced options for you to try.

And if you're using regular WordPress, just grab one of the many tag cloud generators that are available.

I've gotten a lot done during the last few days over at daria.be, my own WordPress Multiuser installation. Here's some highlights:

• Updated the blogging software to a more recent version as well as the support forum software.
• Worked out the bugs with the stat program and made sure everybody was set up for it.
• Upgraded a number of the plugins like Akismet. I still have to do the individual forums for each blog though.
• Fixed the issue with offsitte posting clients like Blogdesk not working.
• Worked out custom header images for a number of themes like Benevolence and Sapphire. I hope to get to more of them soon.
• Added some themes like Cutline and Greenery.
• Added in an option to display a banner to one.org.
• And worked out a method to host domains for individual blogs.

Its been a busy week. Feel free to check out daria.be today. :)

An interesting WordPress Plugin - WordPress Suicide It's returns your WordPress install back to it's original state except for the user tables. That means if you have a bad import, you can remove the posts and comments and try again.

Not sure if or how it works on WordPress 2.1 or Wordpress Multiuser.

A nod to ady for the link.

Greets:

Per a request over at daria.be, I whipped up a quick WordPress plugin and am making it available for download. It places the one.org banner in the upper right of your blog and provides a link to their site. All you have to do is drop the oneorg.php file into your /wp-content/plugins/ subdirectory and activate the plugin within your Dashboard. It also work on the WordPress Multiuser platform if you make plugins optional for your end users.

Hope this helps,
