Recommendations

Mingle still hasn’t been tested with every theme or browser in existence. However, it works exceptionally well on the Thesis WordPress Theme (aff link) and many others.

Many people have started using Mingle as the basis for their Membership Websites. I’ve been asked by several of them how to turn WordPress into a premium Membership Site — well, there’s a WordPress plugin for this called Wishlist Member (aff link) that is simply phenomenal. It does a fantastic job helping you to control and even charge money for access to your WordPress website.

I’m planning on putting together some tutorials on Mingle soon — but Paul Carter (@cartpauj on WPMingle) has created an awesome new introduction to getting started with Mingle (with an awesome intro song):
