[vox] Lugod Website Proposal

[Beth Camero]

So create a Wordpress blog on wordpress.com, use their database, get a
creative pre-built skin, and give people who request it editorial
priveleges.  It's easy. It works.
Or set up mysql on the Lugod server and add the wordpress blogging software
locally.  Surely there is a mysql guru on this list.
