It's interesting how many of those sites were just cleverly skinned Wordpress installs - WP should start making default "I'm running for office" templates!<br /> <br /> Anyhoo, good job on the site and well done for being involved. I should be doing the same thing...

Not by much.. but enough. I think most of the DFL platform this year is up for renewal. That might make it worth the time. Alex Eaton’s web site looks workable to me..

Alex registered the domain name himself (as you saw), but I chose the hosting. I was originally going to use an *nix host running Apache but our database guy on the campaign wanted to set up a system where staff can access our database in a web-based format instead of having it stuck on a database at the campaign manager or candidate's house. He wanted to use ColdFusion. My goal then was to find a host where I could get both ColdFusion <i>and</i> PHP/MySQL to run the site I wanted to run while still having it be affordable. This is the deal we found. I can't say I've been very happy with our hosting but it works for now. If we didn't have ColdFusion requirements I would have found a different host using *nix/Apache... and supported a local company if we were able to find one that was affordable. So don't blame the candidate for that one, please. ;-)<br /> <br /> -Aaron Nator-
