[Systems] JT, Mike: following today's IRC meeting, please help with Uruguay race microsite (register Wordpress blog)

[Sean DALY]

JT, Mike

It's Wednesday morning and our microsite is not up - this needs to
happen ASAP as e-mail address for blog posts was published this
morning in Uruguay's largest daily newspaper

Let us know how we can help thanks

Sean
