[DM-MUG] A blog for the group.

[Jon Thompson]

No, you wouldn't want to replace the mailing list with anything. A
blog would be article-type submissions, or it could be used to host a
static site, but with the ability to dynamically update the content
without the need to ftp upload anything.

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?
