By any chance have you gotten around to packaging up some of the plugins you used to build out MyBabyOurBaby.com for MU?

I don't know if you would call it "awesome", but we've built our corporate blog portal using WPMU: http://blogs.voxeo.com/ We've documented some of what we've done to use WPMU in our setting in one of our blogs ("Behind the Blog") at: http://blogs.voxeo.com/behindtheblog/ Thanks for all your great work on WP, Dan Matt,

This particular one has limited itself to babies, which makes it seem dated 3 or 4 years into use, hardly the trappings to be "saving memories." Its unique feature seems to be the ability to allow multiple authors to post photos. OK, but I personally don't want all of my friends and family posting photos on my blog, potentially embarrassing photos that a daft family member thinks are funny. And at this day and age, it's far easier to try getting Grandma to e-mail me photos than to ask her to create a website account and upload them. The fine print, of course, is that a basic account is free. The nice one costs money. I'll stick with ad-supported free parenting websites, or even regular ones not branded specifically for parents.

I have no clue wat 'MU' means, but your topic title triggered me to click on it, since I've recently launched a 'baby' website as well. It's www.beschuitmetmuisjes.nl (Dutch) and build on WP 2.3.1. My main goal was to make it as SE-friendly as possible and not to associate the design with the standard WP-themes too much. I'm pretty happy with the results so far and I'm tweaking it on a daily base. (still lots to learn though) BTW, I love your blog! Hi Matt,

It was just an unlucky coincidence I think, but we're back online now. Thanks for the post! I'm going to be packaging up and releasing some of the plugins etc that I wrote to build this site when I get a chance, because I think they could be useful for other people. Some of them might even be useful in BuddyPress. If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, I'm quite proud of the posting process :) You can see it in the first video of the tour at http://mybabyourbaby.com/tour. Lots of jQuery, multi-file SWF uploader, thumbnail generation with uploading and storage on Amazon S3 and TinyMCE all in the same page... scary :) Oh, and the site also has a fully-integrated installation of bbPress that uses are avatar system, profiles etc. And @Viper007Bond - end-users actually never see the WP Admin Panel at all, we provide them with a completely customized and scaled back "My Home" UI for them to manage their books. Thanks again, and feel free to ask any comments! Beau You killed us Matt!
