Well one of the sticking points about the premium services/.org issue was that with a paid upgrade or a .org setup on our server, we can create a theme and template to apply to any future event sites we make on Wordpress. I was under the impression from last weekend's meeting that this was what you guys wanted, and was ready to make it until I realized our current free .com setup wouldn't support it. But it sounds like it's a moot point for the bike race site; should JT and I go ahead and put up a new wordpress.org on the Sugar site and get cracking on a microsite theme/template for it, so we'll be ready for future events?
