A WordPress Newspaper Obituary Index

The Thomas Ford Memorial Library loves WordPress.  They used it to create a local history archive and now they have a newspaper obituary index too.  Aaron Schmidt writes about the creation process on walking paper. 

I love that he (and many others) are doing non-standard things with blog software.  The beauty of the blog software is the WYSIWYG interface.  Non-uber-techie library staff can add content.  I think for too long, the content-reigns have been held by the techies for the sole reason that no one else could code for the web.  But the result of that is often bottlenecks in the workflow (how many library webmasters have a 2-month backlog of content updates?) and resentment at techies having so much durn power.  No more, no more I say!  Let the content be posted by those who created it!
