City administrators: Don't spend thousands of dollars on a proprietary system for your city's website. We've launched WordPress.com/cities as the go-to place to start a site for your city or other municipal body, and there's no charge to get started. ("Free" is a price that will get every taxpayer on board, and since WordPress.com has been approved as a hosting site for federal government agencies, you can be sure we take security seriously.)
Making it easier than ever for a city or town to create a beautiful and easy website for their community. Proud of my coworkers from Automattic for launching this project.
So will you set one up for our little community so we can stop this FB nonsense?
Mindi, that’s a great idea! I don’t know that I will be dedicated enough to post to it regularly and moderate it, but you’re more than welcome to set one up. It’s super easy. Just follow the steps at https://en.wordpress.com/cities/.
I think it would take a few people to manage such a site. I’m out for now, but maybe we can convince someone to do it
