[wp-hackers] How to Make Plugin MU-Capable

[Jorge Peña]

2.8.3 now fully supports WordPress MU. Make sure you follow the
instructions. It is available here [
http://wpmudev.org/project/WP-reCAPTCHA], but I PREFER that you
download it from here
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-recaptcha/ where you can also find
installation instructions.
