It seems to me that the idea has been put forward by Paul that he would like to be able to update the lug website. This is actually something I started to ponder as well so his timing was good. He has suggested Wordpress as being a popular and easy to use cms and one with which he is familiar. The server owner and admins are saying that they don't like the idea. My idea is that I register a new site address. Create a wordpress site and give access to Paul and anyone else who would like to add content. We grab the rss feed on new articles etc and place that in the current static lug site. It could sit in the column that currently has out of date blog posts. We could add a link saying visit the lug blog etc.... I am happy to fund this. However, what I would suggest is that this be a trial run. If in 6 months time the site remains fairly unused, it gets taken down and we chalk it up as a bad idea.
