Hello!
Here's the request:
Each WPMU blog needs access to a resource list, like links, with 1 or more categories. This resource list needs to be able to be updated in one location, like the admin menu. Using widgets, the blog author will call those "globally accessible" links.
Here's the context:
Librarians create course guides. Each course guide has a list of resources grouped by subject. Sometimes a couple librarians will use parts or all of the different resources.
Here's the rub:
You can't do this with WPMU. Each blog has its own set of links; you can't access them from a different blog. With plain ol' WP I'd have to use pages and pages can't have customizable widgets - only the blog page can. I could create a template file, but that template file could not be customizable by the librarians on the fly.
Any suggestions?
