Setting up multisite is easy.  Painfully easy, actually.  WordPress is a huge help here.  I’ll write a tutorial by Monday to clarify the whole process.

Anyways, the problem for me was twofold.  I tried to switch over my blog from muzzums.com/blog to blog.muzzums.com and I was trying to figure out how network admin worked.  My memory is still hazy but between my site defaulting to Hover for whatever reason unrelated multisite and some silly forwarding I did, I couldn’t get to my blog.  So I deleted it all.

Now here I am back again.  I’ve settled on muzzums.com for now.  I wanted this to be like a hub, where I would push content from my blog to it and do other things.  That, however, hasn’t happened because I couldn’t get any of my plugins to activate on the entire network, and I refuse to install plugins twice on muzzums.com and blog.muzzums.com.  Anyways, here are the plugins I’m using:

Jetpack:  This is a whole host of features in one plugin from adding functionality to your post bar, setting up subscriptions, website stats and security.  Not much more to say, I just have it active and I can’t pinpoint which features have been added but I believe it’s useful.

Page Links To:  A small plugin that will send a menu or page to another website.  So on my site, you see DS106 at the top.  This is just a page that when you click, links to the currently nonexistant blog.  Can be used to send you anywhere else, so pretty cool.

Three WPBroadcast: An interesting tool for multisite that allows you to push posts to other blogs.  Though I haven’t used it yet, definitely a good tool if you want to connect posts between blogs.

YD Network-wide options: A plugin that allows you to activate plugins on a network basis.  I don’t really like the layout of the plugin it just is a massive list of various features that are hard to sort through, and I still couldn’t get my plugins to activate on blog.muzzums.com.

MU Domain Mapping:  I was going to use this when I was still figuring out multisite.  I could give a tutorial on how to install, but since I don’t actually have different domains then I haven’t used it.

For sanity, I’m ending this here because thinking about plugins and multisite makes me feel bad and angry.  Hah ahaa ha.
