Re: [LUG] website

My preference is for one wordpress site.

Reasons: Simplicity and familiarity of maintenance and upkeep. Â

From experience: the more complicated and esoteric a combination, the less likely it is to be kept up to date by those who set it up, harder for those not immediately involved to maintained and more likely to have catastrophic failure through lack of knowledge in the future.

That said, I'm happily aware that I haven't volunteered my own actual time, and have not done much in the past to help nor, realistically, likely to help out much in the future (Whilst I have the skills, my personality is more benign dictator than collaborative, and I'm certain I would upset too many people if I did get involved!), so do not take just my words as anything other than one user's thoughts.

Oh, and I don't think 2FA is needed. What's needed is the same as it was - sensible passwords!

Thanks Paul,

I'm happy to take on the static work, to recreate a top level. the primary Objectives : Who we are, How to make contact etc.

Simon A and Simon W are you ok to focus on a cms solution for blog articles on a subdomain i.e. learnmore.dcglug.org.ukÂ with it being focused on the secondary objective (Learning)

The sub domain is to ensure there is a file or system level separation between the cms and the static site.
