[Deptheads] Web Site

[Strategicon Department Heads]

We are trying to get WordPress set up, but that requires some outside admin help (since while we own a share of the machine we’re not the only ones on it). Since we want these changes in ASAP, we’re pursuing what we can (path of least resistance).

The bigger problem with WordPress is we’d have to migrate the whole database. I’m not looking forward to that. It could be painless, it could be a whole weekend. Don’t know.
