Hi guys.

I am speaking as myself and not infrastructure.

Infrastructure had this in place once before. It was a logistics nightmare
and none of the parties involved were happy with the service , plugins
available, security updates, spam filtering, and themes.

After a short while, it was determined that anything wordpress related was
better run at an opensource friendly company which specialized in blogging
software versus running it ourselves. If a blog setup is required, I would
think that looking towards wordpress.com or similar would be a better long
term solution.
