Over the last few months, I have been researching blog software. I have narrowed it down to two options:

www.drupal.org or www.wordpress.org

WordPress support other options besides just blogging. I am looking into this.

Drupal is connected to NetSquared. That's a plus. It is actually a CMS program Content Management System. This means I could actually build an entire website ustilizing this program. I am very tempted to do so. I will need one or two volunteers to assist me though.

The problem is that the WYSE website is currently hosted on a Windows NT server at www.prohosting.com. Both Drupal and WordPress are built on PHP. Our website is currently built on ASP. Don't ask me to explain. Bottom line: we have to switch to PHP in order to have a blog at www.wyse.org. OK, maybe we don't HAVE TO, but my vision for the site can only be actualized if we are on a Unix server.

The good news is we just recruited a board intern who is a technology expert!

We are also linked up with a group of six(6)Political Science students at CSULB, who are learning about cyber citizenship, that have been assinged to create a website for a non profit organization. They are learning cyber citizenship.

All the pieces are being laid out on the table for me to begin to put together. This will be a test of my project management skills, but I am up to the challenge.
