Hi, I'm using Wordpress for the blog on my own site, and I like it a lot, but I don't think it's the right thing for the OSG website. The OSG site requires a more general content management system, but Wordpress is a CMS very focused on blogging. Also, I have integrated it with the rest of my site, but I have not found a very clean way to do this. Wordpress seems to do better on its own, where it controls your entire website. -- Terry Welsh mogumbo 'at' gmail.com www.reallyslick.com
