I've been engaging in a personal project recently to get all my OLD wordpress sites upgraded to 2.6 and on the latest versions of plugins and such.

If you're anything like me, you tend to hold on to your email for months, years, or pretty much all of eternity.

On top of this, I have 7 inboxes to check.
Doterati is holding elections for their advisory board. The current leadership has decided that they will not be allowed to govern next year, in an attempt at humility, or checks and balances. In theory, this is a good idea.
