Sorry, moving to wordpress.com was my responsibility and I dropped the
ball.  I got the site imported months ago (though kept private from most
search engines with a robots.txt file):

http://wylug.wordpress.com/

but then I discovered the same problem with their DNS setup as Nigel and
just got stuck, like the proverbial goat, equidistant from two food
sources.  Though in this case the goat was me, and instead of food it
was hosting options and instead of two there was just one and it wasn't
right. Then a catastrophic analogy failure ocurred.

tbh, I think somebody hosting a wordpress site would be a good
short-to-medium-term solution (as we can just import the same database)
and then consider other options.

clearly I'm not the one to take responsibility for this, though I can
offer hosting if necessary.

Any other hosted solutions available?

I'd just like to say it's been very good of Mark Conmy to continue
hosting the site for so long after I'd agreed to get it moved.  Sorry
(again) Mark.

sorry to everyone else too!

John.
