Allowing non-UVM people to create blog accounts without allowing them to also create blogs is just about ready. (WPMU ties the two together for some reason.) Test-user Sam confirms that it appears to be working as expected on the test server. The only remaining issue is preventing UVM people from creating accounts this way, when they should just be logging in with their NetID.

Known issues
The new blog.uvm.edu is starting to get migration requests. We’ve installed a couple plugins SAA people wanted, installed a theme I wanted, and fixed a couple issues. We still know about:
- user account creation is not yet working for non-UVM people. I have a fix, but it requires some testing before I can roll it out.
- There seems to be a sporadic issue when a blog owner adds new users to a blog who don’t already have blog.uvm.edu accounts. I’m not yet sure what triggers the issue.
- We need to install some more useful plugins and themes, and we need one or a couple UVM-looking themes.
- NetID authentication does not yet work with the XML-RPC publishing interface.
- look into “delete blog” behavior since it tells the user it removes the account as well
Installed the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin
At Geoff’s request, I have installed the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin. Go forth and highlight.
