Welcome to your ‘easy to use guide’ for managing your Blogs.mu community!
Blogs.mu is a site that allows you to setup your own WordPress based blog community or network - with the minimum of fuss. You get your own blog hosting site at blogs.mu and then can set up as many blogs as you like (or let your users set up blogs) at subdirectories.
As the community owner you are assigned the role of site admin user. This series of articles introduces you to administering your community via the ‘Site Admin’ menu. Its purpose is to explain how to use site admin so that you can get the most out of working with your community. It is not intended to provide resources for your blog users!
Each section comes with illustrative screenshots and explanations, and the entire guide is also available as a freely downloadable pdf (scroll down).
