Re: Wordpress as main website

Thanks for the examples/advise. Right now, it sounds like our mentor wants to get some other kids to work on a [separate] site, so they can help with the team or something. Well, problem is, the last two years, we practically didn't have a site, and when the one was basically finished, the season was over. We don't do anything outside of FIRST (yet) so it sits there and expires for the next year.

I understand what he's trying to do (give some people a job), but judging from our team's performance the last few years, the website should be the last thing we need to worry about. Hence why I just spent the last two months working hard on this site. Well, that, and because I need some experience building sites.

I changed the theme, and edited a few things. I'm satisfied with it currently, so I don't plan on wasting anymore time on it. If they don't have a finished site, or if nobody does it at all, we'll use mine. If they do have one up, more power to them. I don't mind it that much, really. Just don't want to see my hard work go for nothing. Anyway, enough of my ranting.

Somewhat related to the topic, without revealing too much, I'm planning out an online community for FIRST. Mostly WordpressMU, Drupal, and vBulletin (CD ). Anyone want to help? PM me...
