Wordpress Is Great!

Back in the days when I was working on my BA in Journalism, publication was very different than they are now.  Stories were written and had to be re-typed on photo typesetters which then had to be pasted-up on a layout board.  Photographs were shot on film, developed, and printed to then be also pasted-up on the same layout board.  One of these would be produced for each page of the newspaper.  Each one would then be photographed again to create the plate for the printing press.  It was always …
