Welcome

This blog is for fellow webmasters at The Villages Golf and Country Club in San Jose, California who are supported by the Villages Webmasters Guild. WordPress can be a frustrating and enigmatic platform. I hope that sharing some of what I have learned as webmaster for The Villages Men's Fun Social Club will help my fellow webmasters avoid some of its pitfalls and better serve their clubs.
