Currently testing BuddyPress, please excuse the mess

March 2, 2010 in Blog by Christopher Penn

We got wind that BuddyPress was now available for all Wordpress installs, so we’re testing it out here. Please excuse if the Marketing Over Coffee blog looks badly broken for a couple of days while we kick the tires. The RSS feeds and iTunes feeds should remain just fine.

Please feel free to test out the features yourself!
