[DM-MUG] A blog for the group.

[Ray Bowler]

Thanks Jon.

I have looked at wordpress.com and it looks interesting.  Questions galore. How would DMMUG use a blog? This is perhaps my main concern. I think that needs to be answered before any of the rest of them. 

Later questions: Would it be a replacement for the mailing list and if so how? Could we move www.dmmug.org and have it hosted at Wordpresss.com and then have a blog as a part of it or it as a part of the blog?  When it mentions a limit of 35 users is this the same as the number of people who can comment or is it the number who can originate blogs? 

As I look at it I can see an application for my wife and her genealogy.
