Karol Krizka, the Techie Buzz author who created the Better Comment Manager WordPress plugin has released his newest creation, Manage Multiple Blogs. The new WordPress plugin allows you to manage a bunch of WordPress blogs from one WordPress control panel.

After lots of work in fact more than 3500 lines of code later I am finally glad to announce the beta release of Manage Multiple Blogs. This plugin allows you to manage your external blogs from a single central blog. Yes now you don’t need to logon to multiple blogs if you want to write a post, edit a post, manage categories and yes manage your comments including approving, disapproving, spamming it, replying to it, threaded reply and more.

The beta plugin offers most of the functions you would find in your normal WordPress control panel. There are few things it currently cannot do, like uploading an image or adding a category while writing a post. There is also no automatic draft saves. Manage Multiple Blogs should be beneficial to bloggers who write more than one blog or regularly guest blog for other blogs.

There are two versions of the plugin, Manage Multiple Blogs and Manage Multiple Blogs RPC. The RPC version allows you to manage comments across multiple blogs.

By the way, how many people have more than one blog?

"Manage Multiple Blogs should be beneficial to bloggers who write more than one blog or regularly guest blog for other blogs"

Or for managing your splog empire. Well.. all of those are completely automated, but its a nice thought

lol

That's great. Another social site I like being myspace'd. If they start having horrible "templates" like Myspace with music that autoplays I'll have to leave it. It is my current "clean" social site that I go to. No spamming as of yet.

Yeah.. nice useful plugin for lazy bloggers.. hehe :P

How do people find the time to keep more than 1 blog up to date? I'm flat out on mine as it is!

Sounds good for lazy people or spammers.

And if you're not on WP yet, why not try it today? :grin:

I use scribfire, but this plugin seems useful

[...] John Chow over at: johnchow.com made over 17K dollors last month, and his site is set up to teach you to do the same. [...]

This plugin is great news for newbies like me who dislike digging into codes.

Very nice for blog webmasters.

This sounds realy good. I dont have real blogs but I would liek to manage my site from 1 place only.

It sounds great for multiple blogs. I only have 2 though.

No thanks, not gonna risk it. I don't need an additional 3,500 potencial problems. :roll:

i always have problems using word press because customize a template is too complicated

just what i have been looking for! :) thanks

Damnnnnnnnnnnnn I was waiting for this. I never knew that something like this exists. Its going to help me to run my new blog network better.

This plugin sounds great!! I have many blogs so this plugin is really useful!

This is the kind of plugin I can use but I'll wait until the "bugs" are worked out...

Ok now this can be a really useful plugin for those that do have a network of blogs.

I have been becoming fond of windows writer for multiple post. However, you still have to log in afterwards to adjust the SEO tags.

Another great plugin that is meant for WP users!

You have a spelling error in your personalize bidvertiser ad. Thought you might want to fix it!

:grin: cool WP plugin. got to try this on my 3 blogs. :)

Yep, I've had a good look at this aswell - helpful tool

What benefits would this have compared to say ScribeFire? It's what I use for about 5 blogs. It adds tags for both technorati and delicious and allows you to add categories on the fly. Plus its a Firefox plugin. I can use it aanywhere and no one's the wiser.

ohhh, this is a plug-in i was waiting for! Hope full functionality will be add soon.

Um, you got the wrong author...

Yups and the better kontera plugin is not created by me :razz: its better comments manager

I don't know too many that have multiple blog and if so, why would you want to anyway? :shock:
Having lots of blog is a fantasttic way to lose motivation and get bogged down :wink:

I have three, but I have to agree it is more than I can or want to handle. Right now though I am trying to find the right platform and then probably drop the others.

I think that is what many of us do. I have three, but one of them I'm just not passionate about. My two others receive updates 5-7 times per week each.

Hi John,
Funny as i just saw this plugin mentioned yesterday. I think it is great for me as I manage 4 blogs. Thanks for reminding me again. I'll download it right away.

Monika :razz:

Wow, nice -- I'll have to check that out. I have four blogs. :)

I'm equally excited and terrified to install this plugin. It's on the "to do " list.

I'm terrified too. I would assume it's stable, but I'm going to wait for some reports before I do anything *crazy*.

Mike

Sounds like a lot of work, great job! Perhaps you should consider charging a fee for the plugin.

That isn't a bad idea :cool:

maybe quiet a few people will be willing to pay for it

Neat plugin. I'll have to give this a try.

John, you could use this for that secret blog you've started!

Sounds like a bit of a ball ache for the sake of not wanting to login to a seperate login page.

Approving comments all in one go for multiple blogs could be handy though.

Great plug-in for those who have more than one blog!

yeah, now im listing 10 new blog that i want to create :p

this is actually very useful...is it like wordpress.com? Anyone tried it?

I have to test it out and see how much resources takes, and I am afraid also about the bugs on it.
