BuddyPress.org

Thanks for your feedback @mercime. I checked the default’s theme header, lines 73-77, and it points to “Blogs” not “Blog” singular. Clicking on the Blogs menu link shows me the blogs in the network — not the latest posts.

I’m open to doing it the way buddypress.org does, but I can’t seem to get both /blog (“latest posts” page) and a custom homepage to work hand-in-hand. I have a feeling it’s something simple I don’t have configured properly. When I previously installed wpmu with sub-directories I was getting the following URL http://example.com/blog/2010/04/26/hello-world/ … going to /blog would redirect to the site’s front page.

Disclaimer: I’m new to wpmu and buddypress, though I do have experience with single wordpress installs.
