I’m not completely sure why I’m already posting this, but I decided to try out a copy of BuddyPress. If it works out I might just give everyone a chance to host a blog here for free which includes BuddyPress on top of that.
I’m in the process of testing all of this out on a new host and will try to have a complete tutorial finished within the week.
I’m actually ranking far to high in Google, specifically for BuddyPress related posts. I would like to give the visitors something that can help them. So, if you have any tutorials you would like me to list feel free to do so.
Here’s a few tutorials I would recommend:
Installing WordPress MU:
1. http://maketecheasier.com/install-wordpress-mu-in-windows-localhost-with-xampp/2009/05/02 - A complete in depth tutorial on how to install and test WP MU on your local server.
2. http://www.blogopreneur.com/2006/11/06/installing-wordpress-mu-on-a-cpanelwhm-server/ - Installing WordPress MU on a Cpanel server.
3. http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WPMU - The WordPress MU installation Codex.
As soon as you’ve thorougly tested and completed a few WP MU installations, you’re ready to start setting up the big mama , BuddyPress.

You dont need a large number of sub domains allowed by your host. Wordpress MU does not create sub domains under your domain, it is just a database reqrite. You only need one A record, the wildcard entry (*). If this record is added by your host, you can create unlimited sub domains using Wordpress MU..

Hey,thanks for the tip. will give it a try in the next few days. I also setup a theme section. Would like to display some of the themes you have on your site. Will give a direct link back to your sites posts.
I don’t have that much time on my hands currently, so if you ever get some time try and register for and account here and post some of your latest themes.
Or just give me the latest links and I’ll write a few snippets about the themes.
