Good to know.

As far as I know, any of the static site generators that support MarkDown
also support traditional HTML, so migrating should not require a general
rewrite.

Re: the Flex website

Hey there -- checking in (this thread ended up in my spam blocker somehow).

We do still use the CMS, but we didn't use a ton of features in it.  We
mostly used it to glue on a header and footer to the straight HTML pages.
It looks like the CMSs that were linked in the initial post are mostly
markdown-based, which we don't use (and it would be a pain to convert over
to).

I don't have a ton of time this week -- I'm trying to convert my classes to
be online at the last second, again.  If anybody else on the list wants to
do the research to move it over, I can chime in to help.  I should have
some more time in a few weeks when things settle down.
