You know, I've been around since the very early years of newspapers online – one of the first sites on a Mac server. Heh. Anyway, all the effort was to shovel the print copy to the web. More and more, I realize that tools like WP are just the pagination software of the future. It's just that newsroom culture that took so long to change maybe. Looks like it's changing, though, and that's good. Great post. Keep up the good work.

I love this story. We have a company called page.ly and we see people confidently build websites for niches all day long. As soon as people get past their initial fear of website creation, it's so awesome to see them empowered.

Again, thanks for sharing. It sounds like you've created a great way to connect with your community.

All the best,
