[Hamara-devel] wordpress MU

[shirish]

Hi all,
We need to move ASAP to either wordpress MU (multisite previously called 
multi-user) or some other medium because the current solution that we 
have through liferay CMS  just doesn't work. These are the failures I 
found while trying to find blog content :-

a. It is impossible to find author's blogs except if you go by date or 
if you go by http://www.hamaralinux.org/blogs/  but this defeats the 
purpose altogether.
b. There are no tags within blog entries
c. Dunno if there is support or not for the <--more--> flag as all 
entries go in one-go.
d. The URL's generated are really weird .  Please let me know which is 
more easy to figure out  this - 
http://www.hamaralinux.org/blogs/-/blogs/that-was-2014?_33_redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hamaralinux.org%2Fblogs%3Fp_p_id%3D33%26p_p_lifecycle%3D0%26p_p_state%3Dnormal%26p_p_mode%3Dview%26p_p_col_id%3Dcolumn-1%26p_p_col_count%3D1 
or this -

I have always found to gravitate towards web-pages which appear easy to 
remember and clean.  Also as you can there is tag cloud so for a 
potential reader s/he can choose any of the topics s/he desires and it 
would be easier to figure out.

Some links where wordpress MU is being used actively :-

a. https://data.nasa.gov/
b. http://www.democraticleader.gov/
c. http://www.mtv.com/news/
d. http://techcrunch.com/
e. http://teachforus.org/

Wordpress MU is nothing but a feature of Wordpress so in that sense if 
we install Wordpress it's easy to configure.

The only difference from the regular Wordpress site is that you have a 
'Network Admin' and a 'Super Administrator' instead of Administrator.  I 
do not know how user-friendly the dashboard of Liferay CMS, but this one 
is dead simple,  sharing my dashboard.

I am and would be looking forward for feedback for the same.  I would 
like if we are able to re-direct all the blogs to hamaralinux.org/blogs/ .
