Hello again from Lockergnome Labs! Recently we needed to create a WPMU plugin that could display a list of all the latest posts across the entire Lockergnome network. We quickly discovered that the WPMU database schema makes that darn near impossible. Well maybe impossible isn’t the right word for it: expensive is more like it. Meaning it’s expensive on resources to pull off such a feat.

Well through rain, sleet, snow… well, you get the point, will will find a way, and we did! You can see it in action on the front page of Lockergnome. We can now show the very latest posts from across the entire Lockergnome network.

Stand by, because later today or tomorrow — or whenever I find time to write documentation for it — we will release it right here at the Lockergnome Lab’s channel.
