How To Set Up WordPress Multisite — A Beginner’s Guide
Even after working with WordPress for more than four years, I still discover new things about the platform.

WordPress Multisite Case Study

jQuery Website: Now Powered by WordPress
Last week, the folks over at jQuery announced that they have open sourced their entire website, including content, and made it avaliable on GitHub. And even more exciting, the jQuery website now runs on WordPress! Of course, being the creative hackers that they are, this is no ordinary WordPress install. The jQuery team sought out a way to make it easy for people to edit content without having to awkwardly access the admin panel or download the entire site for local devlopment. jQuery.com content exists in static form for the most part, in either Markdown, static HTML or XML format.
