I’ve updated the iblog core to WPMU 2.7.1. I have enjoyed a long run of somewhat error free blogging with the core and have spent much time modifying and coding plugins, but no doubt I’ll need to tinker more over the summer.
WordPressmu has been very stable for “browser based blogging.” The future should provide more robust features for mobile users, iPhone a BlackBerry especially I figure. I have one plugin and one template that enables a more readable interface on a BlackBerry, but I need to put some work into enabling the admin interface for handheld devices. Writing posts on a BlackBerry is a pain on its itsy-bitsy screen. Mobiles play nicely with RSS feeds so I’ve beefed up support for feeds. If you browse a blog in Safari, you’ll notice the RSS link in the url bar. It will reveal all RSS feeds available. You then enter that url into your mobile’s feed aggregator and away you go. The STJ Tags blog has the best feeds for sitewide categories, tags, authors, comments, etc.
I’ve added support for Twitter, I’m just not sure why, yet.
Since I tend to only do a major update once or twice a year, I thought I’d make a list of what plugins I have written or added. Many come from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ or http://wpmudev.org/
