Sidebar widget and template function to display an ordered blog list of subsites (with post count) on a page of the WordPress MU main site.

<h4>Show a list of all the WPMU sub-sites</h4>
<p>This WordPress MU plugin installs a <strong>new sidebar widget</strong> that can display the <strong>list of children sites</strong> of your main <strong>mother site</strong> in a single or multi-column format.<br />
The <strong>post count</strong> is displayed for each sub-site / blog of the <strong>blogs listing</strong>.<br />
It also creates a <strong>new PHP function</strong> that can be included in any template to <strong>display an ordered list</strong> that can be designed as a block of information using CSS.</p>
<p>The list can be ordered by blog name, post count, blog creation date or last update, in ascending or descending order.<br />
Blogs can be excluded from the list based on various criteria or individually by blog ID.</p>
<p>Since version 2.0.0, this plugin supports WPML multiple-language blogs: it will automatically list only blogs using the active language, except where WPML filters are deactivated,<br />
or a special ‘in’ (international) langiage is created.</p>
<p>If you don’t like the widget or don’t use sidebars, you can also <strong>include the list in the content of any page or post</strong> of your blog,<br />
by simply adding the special <code>[!YDWPMUBL]</code> special tag, or <strong>include the blog listing in a template</strong> with the <code><?php yd_display_wpmu_bloglist() ?></code> function.<br />
The list design is <strong>highly customizable</strong> allowing different settings when displayed as a widget on the home page and other blog pages, and when used inside templates.</p>
<p>All display parameters can be set in the settings (options) page, or overridden in the template function call.</p>
<p>The display style of each element of the listing can be individually customized using CSS.</p>
<p>The plugin uses <strong>cache</strong> and sitemeta table information to avoid multiple database query.<br />
It has its own widget control pannel and admin settings page.<br />
It is <strong>fully internationalized</strong>.</p>
<p>Base package includes .pot file for translation of the interface, and English, Spanish, Galician, French, Dutch and German versions.<br />
The plugin can be used to display text in any WordPress compatible language and charset.</p>
