It's all Wordpress, so the content is divorced from the design and is mostly controlled by CSS. :D I have no idea why I'm all of a sudden addicted to CMSes instead of doing it all myself - well, ok I know on this site it's because otherwise I get tired of people expecting me to update it. I wrote my own CMS that we used for 2 or 3 years, but it wasn't very robust, so I switched to Wordpress this year. I test-drove Drupal and Joomla, but they weren't able to keep an unpublished database of guest biographies, which is what we really needed. Or if they were able to, I couldn't figure it out. XD Wordpress isn't perfect in that regard, but I'm having it keep them all as post drafts, and when the guest confirms, we switch it from Draft to Published to make them automagically appear. :)

The boy has had an idea for a whole database system to run an entire con for like a decade now - if we ever get together and code it up, I'll probably be in charge of the GUI and doing things like this. XD
