Overview of this book

WordPress is an incredibly popular blogging platform. Few people realize that the software behind WordPress.com, which is a standalone WordPress with multisite enabled, is available for free, for anyone to make use of. WordPress Multisite is a special “mode” built into WordPress, which allows you to create a network of multiple websites, all running on a single installation of WordPress. WordPress Multisite Administration is an easy-to-understand book filled with information, tips, and best practices to help you create and manage a blog network similar to http://wordpress.com/, by using WordPress Multisite. WordPress Multisite Administration will take you through all the steps necessary to get WordPress Multisite installed and configured on your server. It covers everything from installation and initial configuration to customizations and some helpful troubleshooting tips. You will also learn how to build your own blog directory that features the authors in your WordPress Multisite network. The blog directory is built by making use of WordPress child themes, an incredibly useful thing to know how to do. You'll learn everything you need to know about running and maintaining a WordPress Multisite installation.

Another way we can customize a multisite installation is by creating a landing page that displays information about each blog in the multisite network, as well as displaying information about the author for that individual blog.

I wrote a blog post shortly after WordPress 3.0 came out detailing how to set this landing page up. At the time, I was working for a local newspaper and we were setting up a blog network for some of our reporters to blog about politics (being in Iowa, politics are a pretty big deal here, especially around Caucus time). You can find the post at http://www.longren.org/how-to-wordpress-3-0-multi-site-blog-directory/ if you'd like to read it. There's also a blog-directory.zip file attached to...
