[Hidden-tech] Word Press Campus hosts?

[Rich Roth - Webmaster]

Not directly about the conference -- JIC you are not aware

there are 2 fairly active WP groups in the Valley (+) -- look for 
Meetups about WP.
one in Noho and one in Brattleboro

I'd be interested in how this conference develops - we have/are moving 
our Joomla sites to WP
(including HT itself) and my wife is a (retired) education professor (at 
GCC) and did and does use WP for
a variety of functions.
