[Dr. Daniel Alexander Smith]

Laura, if this is a VM then you can ask Lance to set it up on the backup system.

Although, unless someone is willing to check for updates very regularly, it will get pwned like then other server did - so using the iSolutions Wordpress server would fix that aspect too - please liaise with Lance for recommendation on that - we should be able to do an import/export of existing blogs and theme easily.
