How To Get New Cookie Keys For WPMU

Getting Started
Posted on April 25, 2009 by Chris
I know there’s not much to see here right now. I’ve just finally decided to take this opportunity to start up a new site I’ve been thinking about for awhile.
The goal will basically be to help others with Wordpress & Wordpress MU problems. I also intend to help with the marketing aspect of your sites as well as give my suggestions for great plugins & features.
Have a look around. It shouldn’t take you more than 2 minutes at this point. I’m open to suggestions so feel free to leave a comment and let me know if there’s something you’d like me to write about.
Chris
