nyyad.info

In 2004, I created the nyyad.info website for, well, the BLIA New York young adult division group.  :)  Since my "retirement" from the youth group from around two years ago, the site has largely gone unmaintained and is really showing it's age.   Today, Nov 3, 2010, it has finally reached it's end of life.

The nyyad.info site was created before the blogging platforms become really popular.  After my youth group "retirement", I've already thought about create a blogger.com site to replace what I created.  My thought was that using a free and updated solution that's maintained by Google would at least keep the site alive even when no one continues to maintain the site, pay the web hosting and domain name, etc. 

A couple of months ago, I saw that my web hosting contract is going to end in November, 2010, knowing that I'm not going to renew my contract, I decided to create a demo nyyad.info site using a readily available blogging platform and let the current NY YAD members know about it as an option when my web hosting contract ends.  Rather than using blogger.com for my demo site, I decided to use WordPress, which is a much more powerful blogging platform than blogger.com.  Combined with free hosting, which I believe is enough for NYYAD's website, we'll have a low cost solution going forward.

With the nyyad.info reaching it's last day, now what?  Well, the current NYYAD members decided to get the nyyad.org domain name (which I think should have been the site's domain name from the start but I was young and didn't know.  =P) and use WordPress to replace the original site.
