This episode of WordPress Weekly was an open mic version of the show where I was joined by Kim Parsell, Scott K Clark and Conorp to discuss the round up of news stories for the past week. Nothing too exciting in the episode other than you get to hear my voice quite a bit. Ad…
As we’ve geared up towards the merge between WordPress MU and WordPress, the word multi-site has popped up a number of times thus giving the impression that WordPress MU would be called multi-site after the merge.

This episode of WordPress Weekly featured two different guests. The first, Joshua Strebel who operates the Page.ly service.
