Or how to create a blog network with out WordPress Multi-User.
Almost 2 years ago, I was charged with the duty of building an integrated Blog network with WordPress, for the Parents Everywhere Network. WordPress MU wasn’t quite ready for prime time, as most plugins hadn’t been ported over, and documentation was sparse, and only the bravest of souls wanted to tangle with it. Remember, this was back before WP and MU development were in sync. So I had to come up with another way.

v0.10 of XEN Carousel, the WordPress plugin to allow you to associate images with Posts or Pages, and display those images (linked to the Post) in a Slideshow / Carousel, powered by jCarousel Lite, has been released.

I’ve updated my K2 Hook Up WordPress plugin to include support for two of the latest K2 Hooks: template_primary_begin and template_primary_end. You need to be running the latest version of K2 to take advantage of it, but once you are, K2 Hook Up will help you target over 10 regions in your theme with the content of your choosing – without having to edit any files. Current Users will be able to auto-update from wp-admin. New Users can get started here.
For developers looking to contribute to the plugin, K2 Hook Up is now on GitHub, so fork the project and send me a pull request with your changes.
I started moving my open source code over to GitHub, since it supports working with contributors in a natural, but controlled manner. However, for many of my WordPress plugins I already have a local working copy, since they are hosted in the WordPress plugin repository to support auto-update. I didn’t want to disrupt my svn working copy, nor did I want to start fresh in github.
