WordPress 3.0 Thelonious

WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release of WordPress and the culmination of half a year of work by 218 contributors, is now available for download (or upgrade within your dashboard). Major new features in this release include a sexy new default theme called Twenty Ten. Theme developers have new APIs that allow them to easily implement custom backgrounds, headers, shortlinks, menus (no more file editing), post types, and taxonomies.

How do I use a make file or compile the source codes for open source software?

I really like using open source software (OSS). However, often times there are no binaries, precompiled installation programs or the executable program itself. Instead the sources, the files that contain the module files or the source codes, are provided with a few files called "make files". How do I use a "make file" or compile the source codes for OSS?

How to: different wordpress blogs, one feed?

I want to have 4 or 5 different wordpress based blogs and I want them all to feed into one. I already have several domain names and a host. But, what I need to know how to do is create 4 separate blogs, each with there own URL and look, that all feed into one master feed. That master feed will serve as a hub from which you can link to all the other blogs. I don’t think using tags or categories will work because each blog/topic needs to have its own look and mechanics, but I could be wrong. Any info on how to get started or links to somewhere I could find this info would be helpful.
