Yes, that picture is me (and it’s the one I use for my avatar pretty much everywhere as I’m a stickler for consistency). I host four websites here. This one (duh), Jorja Fox: Online (for the actress Jorja Fox)"

If you need help with my plugins etc, post on the appropriate plugin page. From there, we may go to email, but I feel that since most problems are repeated, it’s better to have a public record. You can also post on the WordPress forums and I’ll get to those."

"Whether or Not"

According to Fowler's Modern English Usage (see note), "whether or not" is not strictly incorrect. The pertinent article acknowledges that "whether or not" can be a legitimate contraction of "whether it will or will not". Nevertheless, you should avoid the construction, as it is less often used than abused.

There are three scenarios to consider when avoiding the use of "whether or not"."

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech: "When Your Site is Homogenous

Do you want your whole network to look and feel 100% the same? Don’t use MultiSite. If every single subsite is going to be exactly the same, except for content, but the content is all written the same way, you don’t need MultiSite. Replicating the theme and settings on every subsite is a pain, and you can achieve the same result with categories, tags and CPTs. You can even use a membership plugin to control who sees, and has access to, each CPT! 3"
