<p>This plugin helps to create a widget and shortcode to create featured blogs.</p>
<p>Following are the things done</p>
<p>A settings page created for featured.<br />
You can enter the blog id in the blog id: text box in the settings page and click on get blog details button .<br />
This will fetch( by AJAX ) get the blog name , blog link , and blog Avatar ( based on the avatars plugin ).<br />
It will also add two buttons<br />
 Add this blog -> Which will add this blog to the featured blog list<br />
Can -> it will not add the blog to the featured blog list.<br />
Then saving the settings will save it. The settings are saved different for each blog .<br />
Then the user can use the widget as follows .<br />
Drag the widget on a widgetize area.<br />
Enter the blogids in the widget , then those blogs will be used as featured blogs.<br />
If nothing is entered in the bloglist the blog list from the settings will be taken.<br />
The user can use the short code as follows</p>
<p>The user can specify the blog list in short code argument. For e.g:-   [multisite_featured_blogs blogids=”3,2″].The those blogs will be displayed in the featured blog list.<br />
If the user passes no argument then in case the featured blog list will be taken from the settings. For e.g:-  [multisite_featured_blogs]</p>
<p>This plugin was done as a part of some work done for http://premium.wpmudev.org/ , but was later not released.<br />
Thanks for all the help for this plugin from WPMU Dev</p>
