Third Coast Review: How an all-volunteer team is building a new website

Third Coast Review arose from the ashes of a 12-year-old Chicago website, gapersblock.com. As GB arts editor, I worked with a group of GB writers to launch the new website, focused on curating Chicago arts & culture. My talk will tell the story of how I started out with a WordPress.com site and moved it to WordPress.org with the help of a great developer. Today 3CR is almost two months old and growing in readership every day. I’ll talk about content, design, social media and organizing an all-volunteer team.
