All this while, I was using a third-party plug-in to manage your blog tags. Since the recent update to the site, this third-party plug-in is no longer necessary as the main script comes with native tagging support already included. > more <

Early this morning, I moved this web site here (gidblog.com) after running it for a few days at gidhelp.com.

The reason for the test site is because I had to find out if the script that powers this web site, WordPress MU, is really what I assumed it to be — and it is!

The test site also allowed me to figure out a few things about making this site work better. Some of these include additional themes for you (blog owners) to personalise your blog sites, and maybe a couple of custom scripts, aka plugins, to simplify the things you can add to your sidebar. A sidebar widget plugin is discussed here.

A lot of things for me to add to this site over the next few days, weeks, and months. I look forward to this, as I hope you do too.

Today, I managed to get my first WordPress plugin installed and working. Introducing the popular WordPress Plugin: Sidebar Widgets.
