[LUG]Re: Domain and Website

[Paul Sutton via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alex

Thanks for this, the proposed new site we are working on is here

https://www.dcglug.zleap.net/

Probably needs a little more doing to it, but I think it is nearly 
there,  I am not too sure how themes work though,  but I think right now 
it is just nice, simple and gets lots of useful information across.

There are 3 people with access (inc myself) at the moment.

Grant S has access to the server, this is hosted on, as he is hosting my 
site,  which this is a subdomain, so I am kinda guessing that as I can 
create a backup of the site date.

In which case, would the process be replace Wordpress with Grav the 
restoring the site from back up.?

I appreciate people are busy, life, work etc,  if we do point the domain 
to the above,  I should probably put a note to that effect on the home 
page so people don't get confused as to why it points to somewhere 
different.

I think to be fair on admins here it is a case of what ever works best 
for people.

Regards

Paul
