If you’re not a WPMU DEV member then it’s still the most affordable, functional and best supported paid members plugin you’ll find.

Check out the brand new WPMU DEV membership plugin here!

Just a taster…

You can use Membership to create…

• A WordPress membership site, offering resources, forums, downloads, videos, support and more… with multiple different levels of membership and complete customizations
• Multiple membership sites on a WPMU / WordPress MultiSite install – so any user of your site can have their own membership site, combine with Supporter to make this a feature they pay for – or you could run dozens of membership sites yourself
• A BuddyPress membership site, where different groups and blogs are only visible to members, so members can join for free and then upgrade to key groups and forums

(nothing to do with me either, I’ve been out stuck at airports most of the weekend)

But check out the unreal new Ning to BuddyPress plugin now on offer at WPMU DEV.

Of course, this follows the news that Ning has culled free networks, if you really are interested in forming, sustaining and developing a great network (that you actually own!)… BuddyPress is a great place to start :)

Bear in mind they have all been manually submitted, by manual sploggers, to us, so that we might un-ban their blog. Here’s my favourite:

“this is not a spam, i’m just posting about a weight loss program!”

With two brand new pitches, teams at all levels and all ages and a great atmosphere… you can’t go wrong.

Find out more at their rather snazzy (yet still to be improved!) WordPress site :)

Come and work with us at Edublogs in help and support :)

This follows on from the very successful 2008 contest, and we’re stumping up a cool $1000 to the prize pool for the winners!

Only conditions are that you write your announcement post on WPMU.org (host your plugin anywhere) and that your plugin is GPL.

Looking for firms / people that can assist in helping us drive up Campus sales – can be by direct means or not.

And / or people / companies who’d like to act represent us on commission / other terms.

This is definitely the year that I want Edublogs Campus to become a huge hit… we’ve got a brilliant functionality / backend technology / support thing going on and I reckon we’re ready for the mainstream!

Any help in finding the right people / firms would be mucho appreciated!

(am also tryingto set a record for the number of ///s on one post :)

Although it does look like they could do with a few of our new BuddyPress Themes :)

Not sure if I’ll be able to make it – but it looks like it’ll be fun!
