## Description

Changes visibility of a blog after it has had no activity for a specified amount
of time. It is only for WordPress Multisite. This is meant for people running networks
of blogs and hide the inactive sites.

This plugin uses WP_Cron to update the sites. I’ve created a filter in the plugin
to edit the query of sites that are returned. There are also hooks for adding additional
custom options to each of the settings.
