Once I got my WMU-email based WordPress account up and running I went forward and created two work blogs, one called WMUDEVAR and the other OPHM. For each I set them private, set up the P2 theme on both and have been quite happy with them so far. There is so much slightly-hidden awesomesauce built up around WordPress that as I was doing other things these little bits of surprise kept on floating up and out of the archetecture. One of the biggest keys to these two blogs is the “Post by Email” feature which I turned on. Now my users can have options to write articles if they don’t want to comment and then the blog will send it out according to each users preferences.

So far the group team is small and nobody really knows how they’ll use it, but I have high hopes. 🙂
