I think one of the greatest features of Habari is it's multi-site support. Unlike Wordpress, Habari has multi-site support out of the box. This allows you to configure multiple blogs off a single installation of the code with a fair amount of control over how independent each of these blogs are. Each new blog can have it's own domainname (they don't even have to be subdomains), database, themes and plugins. However, if you prefer, they can all share the same set of themes and plugins too thus making managing and maintaining all of your sites a very simple affair. In this post I'll detail how you can take advantage of this functionality on Joyent's Shared Accelerator hosting without using up more than one of your allowed "websites", thanks to aliasing and Habari. Whilst these instructions are based on Joyent's hosting plan, they may be very similar for your hosting plan too. Let me know if these instructions work for your hosting solution too.

If you've been following the developments of Habari, you'll be pleased to hear Habari 0.5 is now out the door and waiting for you to download and use. Habari 0.5 is a vast improvement on the previous stable release (0.4.1) so if you tried 0.4.1 and didn't think much of it, I recommend you give 0.5 a go. You'll be pleasantly surprised. If you host with Joyent, be sure to check out my post on installing Habari on Joyent.

Well, I've only had the Habari source installed for less than a week and I've already contributed and helped to resolve a bug (#182). The Habari guys, in this case moeffju, are pretty damn quick at sorting things like this out if you're able to actively work with them via IRC and using SVN. I think I'm going to enjoy using Habari. Now the SVN works without the need for me to make any changes, I think I'll start working towards migrating my sites across. First I need to add some sub-page functionality though.

After my initial thought of checking out Habari, and the encouraging comment from Skippy, I decided to go ahead and investigate Habari for myself, so I downloaded Habari 0.4.1 and took it for a spin. Continue reading ►

The Sun Security Blog has been running for some time, however it didn't really have much content other than regular updates of new security alerts. Well, not anymore. Following a lot of internal discussion following the infamous telnetd issue that occurred a couple of months ago, it has been decided to actually use this blog for more security related information. From the recent posting about the forth coming changes: In addition, here at blogs.sun.com/security we hope to provide a point of consolidation, where people can find postings and feeds pertinent to their preferred topics - Security Alerts, Tips, New Products, ...
