I was talking to Steve from Rimworlds.com about installing WordPress MU. I have never done this before, but I gave it a try and it works. I have a shared blog now on one of my unused sites. I don’t know if I want to make it public or not. Steve is considering doing this for a project he has in mind, and mine might clash with his idea. It is nice to know that it can be done, though.
WordPress MU is like Blogger or Livejournal, except you can run it yourself. It is user unfriendly and not well documented. I had to dig to get it going.
I searched for Science Fiction WordPress themes and made an ugly discovery. Some of the themes from obscure sites had hidden PHP programs in them that created back doors for hackers. Unless you are willing to go into the themes you download and look for instances of the eval() function, do not download themes from anywhere except the WordPress repository.
