PPUG.net is back

admin — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:47:03 +0000

After losing the PPUG.net domain name in an administrative oversight, I’m happy to report that we got it back. I had to pay a king’s ransom to get it back and got locked into the horror that is Network Solutions for 60 days, but the point is that we’re baaaaaaaack! We’ve also registered PPUG.us as a contingency plan, but probably won’t be using it.

PPUG.net is running on WordPress and is hosted on the PowerPage servers. Feel free to use all the neat features that WP provides, like comments, etc. The WP theme is iTheme 1.1 by N. Design Studio.

Thanks for your patience during the transition.
