One in a while you run into trouble with your WordPress blog. If you can’t figure it out you can try posting your issue in the WordPress support forums. It would be a good idea to let the good people helping you know a few details about your server environment. If you use the nt-phpinfo plugin, getting this information is very easy.
After installation a new menu will appear on the backend. Clicking the “i” menu will bring up the php info you need.

So you got a WordPress MU site running and was thinking how you can monetize your new adventure?
There are more than a few ways to monetize your wpmu service but I think that the best ways are those which allow your bloggers to share the profits with you. So the magic words would be revenue sharing.
Got more ways? Let me know!
If you want to help your WordPress-MU bloggers drive more traffic to their blogs, why not let them use BlogRush. You can watch the short BlogRush video to learn about it but in short this widget shows related posts from other blogs (like the one currently on the sidebar).
Each time the widget is shown, the blogger earns one credit point and for each credit point earned, one of the bloggers posts is shown on some other blog. One can also earn points by referring bloggers to the program (like a pyramid scam but no money is exchanged).
The BlogRush widget for WPMU is placed in the mu-plugins directory and the only thing the user must do is signup for an account with BlogRush and get his code. The code is part of a Java Script snippet like this one (code is highlighted in red):
<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
blogrush_feed = “10760145“;
//–></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://widget.blogrush.com/show.js”>
</script>
Once the code is retrieved just enter it in the widget:
Download: blogrush-mu.zip
Install: extract into the mu-plugin directory.
The Signup Security Question plugin for WordPress-MU adds a changeable question to the signup form. Site admins can set the question and answer via the admin backend:
The question will be added to the signup form:
