[wp-edu] Off-campus WP hosting

[Jim Groom]

I wouldn't recommend EDUblogs to anyone based on how obnoxios the owner
James Farmer is, case in point:

At UMW have been hosting UMW Blogs <http://umwblogs.org> off campus with
Cast Iron Coding for almost 5 years. They are a small, boutique dev/hosting
shop in Portland, Oregon---full disclosure I went to grad school with the
owner---and they rock. Talk to Zack Davis http://castironcoding.com.

No nonsense, professional, and small enough that they treat you like a
human being.
