## Description

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.
