Web Self Publishing

Hi John -

Sure thing.

All the sites we’ve been developing lately (some of them available on our portfolio @ brainspiral.com) are based on a Content Management System (http://brainspiral.com/2009/03/content-management-systems/) called WordPress. WordPress was originally developed as a blogging package but has been heavily re-developed to accommodate for general web publishing. It would probably be ideal for you as it provides a easy yet powerful method of editing & managing your website content.

Some of the features of WordPress can be found here: http://wordpress.org

Brainspiral does offer web hosting (though we usually do so in conjunction with a web design/development) on our very reliable servers co-located in facilities in two different states.

If you’re willing to do the content portion of it yourself, then we can set you up for about $25/year (to cover the cost of a domain subscription). Just choose a domain (I checked johnleahy.com – it was taken, but john-leahy.com & johnleahy.org are both available) & a basic theme (which we can tweak some, http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/) & I can get everything else configured & functional & send you some instructions on how to start publishing content.
