			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/?ref=christofire-9661" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-140" style="margin: 20px;" title="WPMU DEV screenshot" src="http://christopherprice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/WPMU-DEV-screenshot-300x231.jpg" alt="WPMU DEV screenshot" width="300" height="231" /></a>As many know, I&#8217;ve been working on BestAgentBlogs.com for quite a few months and things are coming along very well. Truth is, it&#8217;s coming along way better than it should under normal circumstances due in large part to the talent and community at <a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/?ref=christofire-9661" target="_blank">WPMU Dev Premium</a>. It is a paid membership community for WordPress MU (Multi User) Administrators that develops and supports plugins and integrations that improve the user experience and management of these complex systems.<span id="more-135"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been meaning to mention them here for some time, but now that they have asked and they are giving away a few memberships to promote their <a href="http://wpmu.org/countdown-to-100-plugins-themes-videos-and-more-at-wpmu-dev-premium/">100th WPMU plugin</a>, it seems seems like an especially good time for me to chime in. I started paying by month, and am now several months in to a (paid) annual membership. Well worth it, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Although I have given most of their plugins a try, the ones that I make the most of are these:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/google-analytics-for-wordpress-mu-sitewide-and-single-blog-solution">Google Analytics for WordPress MU &#8211; Sitewide AND single blog solution!</a></li>
<li><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/mailchimp-newsletter-integration">MailChimp Newsletter Integration</a></li>
<li><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/recent-comments">Recent Comments</a></li>
<li><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/remove-email-verification-from-signup">Remove Email Verification From Signup</a></li>
<li><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/sitemaps-and-seo-wordpress-mu-style">Sitemaps and SEO &#8211; Wordpress MU Style</a></li>
<li><a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/supporter">Supporter</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Of these, I&#8217;d say that supporter is the heavy hitter. It is made to integrate in with PayPal as a payment facility and to control what plugins and features are associated with &#8220;Supporters&#8221; versus free accounts. It makes the whole system hum.</p>
<p>In addition to plugins, I&#8217;ve made great use of their <a href="http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/farms-100-big-ones-theme-pack-updated">Farms 100 big ones theme pack</a>. Basically, they&#8217;ve taken 100 popular themes and modified them so that they all work with the various plugins and tools in a reliable way. I can&#8217;t imagine how many hundreds of hours they have spent fiddling with these, but I can say with certainty that BestAgentBlogs would have many fewer themes available without their efforts.</p>
<p>Congratulations, on your 100th plugin, WPMU DEV Premium!</p>
