BuddyPress Theme Contest Relaunched
Last week I decided to hold off on the BuddyPress Theme Contest until BuddyPress v1.0 was released just in case there were any last minute changes which might mean some themes would not work with BP. Well today BP 1.0 was officially released so the Free BuddyPress Themes contest will resume. Here is how the [...]
BuddyPress v1.0 Has Arrived!
The first official version of BuddyPress was released earlier today! After a year of development, Andy Peatling and the BuddyPress team have officially released the very first stable version of the WordPress MU plugin that turns your blog into a social community.

Intergrating WPMU, BP & bbPress
Last week I made another attempt at trying to make BuddyPress work with bbPress (WordPress forums) and after a late night I finally got it working. Due to the fast pace of the development of BuddyPress, as well as having to deal with a beta version of WordPress MU 2.7.1 and an alpha version of [...]
BuddyPress Theme Contest on Hold
The BuddyPress Free Contest being held at Free BuddyPress Themes has been put on hold until the release of BuddyPress version 1.

Upgrades – BP & WPMU

When Does a Project End?
I am currently running 3 websites, all are WordPress based and all of them require effort and a few hours a week of work. I just finished v2 of Explore With Me and am very happy with it, but now it is time to give Free BuddyPress Themes a makeover. I was already thinking about [...]
Google PageRank
I decided to check the PageRank of my websites today and was suprised to see that Explore With Me now has a PageRank of 3. We have been working hard in the past few weeks to gain a little bit more exposure with the site, trying to encourage travellers to join the social networking site. [...]
Living the Internet Lifestyle
The more I concentrate on my internet projects, make money online and read about internet business success stories, the more I want to become a part of the internet lifestyle. Basically – I do not want to work a 9 – 5 job forever and I want the flexibility to “live” life and make money [...]
Explore With Me v2 Launched
Today we went live with the new version of Explore With Me. The site has been redesigned in order to give it more of a social feeling rather than it being a blog with a few members. While the site’s own blog is still a key part of Explore With Me, we are trying to [...]
