That is actually what I’d prefer and that’s how MySpace works but users could also request more blogs under this system (just as they do now in BuddyPress) as WPMU allows users to be assigned to multiple blogs, I’d just like their first one to be on their username subdomain instead of an entirely different subdomain.
My optimal URL structure would be to have the blog and home base on the same subdomain.
Ex) The user’s home base would be at username.domain.com and the blog would be at username.domain.com/blog/ with the posts then being assigned a permalink structure like username.domain.com/blog/post-permalink-structure or username.domain.com/post-permalink-structure.
It seems like this is structure is well within the capabilities of WPMU as it is home is naturally opperates and should be possible with some slight modifications, primarily on the template side of thing.
There are also user online plugins for bbPress for those who have integrated forums and are looking for other alternatives, though the one I linked above definitely works with MU.
I’m looking forward to the chat plugin duanestorey. I’ve hosted chat rooms before but it’d be nice to have one that ties into the MU/BuddyPress login system.
There is going to be an album plugin, it’s just not finished yet. For more about it check out the about page.
As for what features it will include I don’t know off hand but it wouldn’t be too difficult of a task to add ratings and comments I presume if they weren’t included.
Until the bbPress integration is fully done with BuddyPress I just integrated bbPress with WPMU. I’d speculate that the global forum should actually be the easiest to implement since bbPress can already integrate with MU’s user tables.
I ditched the transparent logo and created a solid GIF logo with dimensions of 61×28, copied in the background from admin_bar_back, and then added my logo over it. I uploaded that and changed the CSS style to remove the top spacing and it blends in perfectly.
Hope that helps…
