Hi there!
I am trying to create a site where people can register to have their own site hosted as a sub-domain. I am currently looking at WordPress Mu but that seems more along the lines of a blog instead of an actual site. I could probably use it, but that would be a lot of editing. Are there any other easier options for me or should I stick with WP Mu?

Not only that but it also has awesome linkage and tools which would make people want a WP site over something else. You might just have to spend a little time learning, but it would be worth it.
November 12, 2009 at 12:39 pm #66494spate1yMemberWell I do have tons of knowledge in wordpress… every site i have every made was with wordpress…. i was just wondering if it was the right choice for this project…
thanks for feeback though.

I’m not too proficient when it comes to WPMU. I thought that was specifically for creating multiple blogs, and not necessarily multiple sites.
November 13, 2009 at 12:25 pm #66518blue642Memberwordpress MU sounds like a great idea for what you are needing. Your knowledge is well rooted in wordpress (so not much of a learning curve) and it is what runs WordPress.com which is similar in stucture to what you seem to be wanting to do.
Now I have no experience with it, but I imagine you could get it to do what you need.
November 14, 2009 at 3:56 pm #66556spate1yMemberThanks for the feedback guys! What I am probably going to do is make custom themes that turn WordPress into basically a CMS type site. I will install some plugins and probably mess around with the back-end to make it feel more like a CMS.
November 15, 2009 at 1:02 am #66615AshtonSandersParticipantYea, it sounds like that one "Reading" setting of "Home Page is: Blog or Page" is going to be the only thing you’ll need to figure out how to change on the new sites that are created.
