I needed a way to display login form on the front page of a WPMU network if a person wasn’t already logged in, and a bit of info about the user, a list of their sites, a link to create a new one, and a link to logout. I could have done it by hacking the theme’s templates, but that locks you into a specific theme. With the shortcode, any theme can display this, on any page (or post, but why would you do that? whatever. it’s your site…)

User Info Login Shortcode

This plugin provides a [user_info_login] shortcode to let you embed a User Info or Login section without farting around with page templates or widgets

WordPress removes the Update Services ability (Settings – Writing) when you create a network (aka enables WordPress MU/Multisite). 
Activate this plugin to get it back.
Note: This is only for WordPress setups with a network, aka multiple sites, aka multisites, 
aka WPMU in WordPress 3 and later.
This plugin might work with older WordPress MU sites. I haven’t tested it though. If you do, please 
let me know how it turned out.
