Thanks Dennis,

To be clear, I'm not saying that Loomio should be our only web presence -
in fact, far from it. I prefer it as a tool for discussions that will
ultimately need some form of decision. Way too often I see people coming to
the mailing list asking for agreement to do something or opinion on
something and we bombard them with so many confusing messages their spirits
get eroded. Loomio can help us to develop a discussion in to a final
recommendation.

For the main website, I feel Wordpress may be better than blogger. Over the
years we have had both at Mappa Mercia and my preference is Wordpress. It
does community blog well but can be so much more. You can easily add
webpages, maps etc. For reference mappa-mercia.org is on wordpress and It's
also used by the OSMF and their CWG. This is however something we can
discuss.

Regards,
Rob
