How to manage multiple wordpress blogs

Today, by chance, I’ve discovered one of the greatest resources on WordPress that I’ve seen this year. I’m talking about Vladimir Prelovac, a croatian wordpress developer (and at first look a pretty darn good SEO guy). One of his biggest projects is ManageWp.com. What can you expect to find here:

add multiple (self hosted) wordpress instalations
create groups of blogs
quickly post articles / pages in one or more added blogs
quickly upgrade plugins / installations

For more details you can check this post.

Usage ideea:

If you are a freelance developer that has a focus on wordpress (or even if you are a web agency), create a sample wordpress install on your server and add all the plugins that you regularly use. Once you’ve done that, add the newly created blog to ManageWP.com. Each time you will need to create a new blog, just use the cloning feature and you are good to go. Now, 1-2 hrs of working have been reduced to a few simple clicks.

TIP 1: If you create themed wordpress installs (presentation, blog, CMS, ecommerce) make as many installs as you need

TIP 2: Before cloning make sure that all plugins and WPs are at their latest version

P.S. If you are worried giving to a third party your wordpress credentials, Vladimir is preparing a self hosted version of the plugin

I have always recommended (where it was possible) WordPress as a CMS platform. One of the main reasons is its extensibility and that for almost any task there is a plugin or one can be easily developed. I’m checking daily the WordPress Plugins section of WordPress.org and you can see my favorite plugins on del.icio.us. From today, I’m going to post them here too.

WP Download Codes

From developer:

The plugin enables to generation and management of download codes for .zip files.

Applications:

Use it for any limited downloads that you might have on your WP based website (EX: release a beta software to a limited number of users)
