Sorry, Labs isn't intended for production uses like this. It's intended for test, development and semi-production uses (like running bots or tools), where there is no intention of production-level support. It would be problematic if your blog went down due to Labs issues, and we don't (and never plan to) have a production-level of support for Labs. I second the recommendation that we try to get this hosted as another wordpress site on our current blog. We have a test/dev version of it in Labs that can be used to develop skins, test plugins, etc, so that they can be moved into the production blog. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
