[Hidden-tech] Volunteer needed to move WordPress site

[Tess Gadwa]

I couldn't agree more with what Paul said.  WordPress.com hosting performs
well technically, but support is nonexistent.

Also, I am a little disturbed by the trend amongst nonprofits and artists
to expect "volunteer" websites. Do they also receive volunteer legal and
accounting services?
