I've never found time for a blog but I did like WordPress when I tried
it. I did consider it for the DCGLUG website but it was too much of a
blog and not enough of a content management system, so I stayed with the
Wiki. Bizarre logic, maybe, but it works.

Speaking of blogs, how many GLUG members actually have blogs?
I wonder if 
it might be worth having a "DCGLUG Planet"?
For those who don't know, a planet is essentially a site containing posts
from the blogs of all the members of a group such as a LUG or software
project. See planetkde.org for an example.

I'm all for increasing interaction within the group - do these blogs have RSS 
feeds?

The advantage of a planet being that you can read what everyone in the
group is blogging about without having to visit each site individually.

Kind of like a mailing list . . . . I can see that would be handy, few want to 
plaster the list with off-topic threads suitable for a blog.

I'd be happy to host it if people are interested, but it'd have to wait a
few months until I get my new server sorted.

There is a server much closer that can offer hosting quite a bit sooner, if it 
is requested.
