I put together a presentation for Roundtable on using WordPress.com as a host for unit web pages. I made a sample unit site in about 20 minutes over my lunch break and showed it to unit leaders along with a few other solutions but I think there as some lingering skepticism.
Scoutmaster: Sure, it’s easy for you, but how do we know it’s something we can figure out?
Me: Well, there’s a 97-year old woman who uses WordPress as her platform, she calls it her “web blob” and she figured it out. There was a 108-year old person who blogs, but I think she used blogger, which is pretty similar.
Scoutmaster: She probably has someone to help her, we won’t have that crutch.
Me:Â WordPress is easy enough that the OSR Camp Director maintains their web site.
Scoutmaster: You lie. He doesn’t even like answering email.
Me: Hold on *log into camp wordpress install, opens edit log*Â See:
Scoutmaster: I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.
