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

[Sean DALY]

OK JT

from the meeting:

****
16:45 | SeanDaly | JT_4sugar: if JT & Mike have setup issue related to
paid feature I can assist with that
****
so I can pay that.

Bernie or Dogi in that case just need to point the subdomain to wordpress.
