WP Hive : Multi-Blog Management for WordPress

WP Hive is a WordPress Plugin that allows multiple Wordpress Blogs to use the same core files, plugins, and themes.

This plugin is currently intended to be used in a multi-blog, single administrator environment.  It is built with ease of use and resource sharing at the forefront. WP Hive is for the blogger who manages many blogs and is looking for a simple way to synchronize the plugins, themes, and files for all their blogs at once. If you are looking to run a blog network where you (or a group of trusted individuals) administer and control all the blogs’ content, then WP Hive is perfect for you.

WP Hive currently allows users to create new blogs on separate domains (www.domain.com), and on subdomains(subdomain.domain.com).  Having a separate blog on a subdirectory (domain.com/subdirectory) is currently in the works, and is expected to be supported within the next few releases.

screenshot 1 WP Cumulus : Rotating Tags in 3D

WP-Cumulus allows you to display your site’s tags, categories or both using a Flash movie that rotates them in 3D. It works just like a regular tags cloud, but is more visually exciting. Clicking the tags can be a little hard (depending on your speed setting) but does take you to the appropriate page :) .

7 Sidebar Widgets for WordPress to keep your readers engaged

WP Wall

WP Wall is a “Wall” widget that appears in your blog’s side bar. Readers can add a quick comment about the blog as a whole, and the comment will appear in the sidebar immediately (without reloading the page).

All comments are internally handled by WordPress so that means you have normal comment moderation, SPAM protection and new comment notification.

WP Wall is fully customizable with a CSS file and included graphics.
