Should we create an official QGIS blog
Proposal is to host it on Wordpress.com but with domain of http://blog.qgis.org at a cost of USD 13 per year. We would add the blog to the QGIS planet feed too.

I'd rather move that ancient stuff to oldblog.QGIS.org or similar.

@timsutton Do you think we should keep the old blog at blog.qgis.org? Or should we move that somewhere else. It's good to leave it online somewhere I guess.

It sits on my server. The domain can be redirected wherever need be. I can create an alias for it (e.g. qgisblog.geoapt.net) just to keep it around for historical purposes. Or move it to oldblog...

I'll set up the mapping of blog.qgis.org on Wordpress tomorrow if nobody opposes.

Great thanks @anitagraser and @oldmandqgis yes it would be good to keep archives of the old blog somewhere....

@anitagraser One more thing before we consider it ready - lets get it themed to look like the rest of the QGIS.org site. I have a good designer that can do it for a fair rate, or if someone has some time can they apply the same theming as QGIS.org?

@timsutton We currently don't have access to use our own theme. That might be possible with the Custom Design upgrade for $30.00 but I'm not 100% sure of that.

I tried to find a theme which looks reasonably similar to qgis.org. Will that do for now?
Tim Sutton Mon 6 Jul 2015 6:37PM
Yes - much better - can you get the QGIS logo into that as well - then I will stop being fussy :-)

Ok, from what I read it is $13 per year: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
So not a problem I think
Mmm, apparently blog.qgis .org is still in use...
http://blog.qgis.org/
Should we make it psc.qgis.org then, or talk.qgis.org or official.qgis.org or so?
