Non profits inhabit their own strange little bubble of marketing goals, work attitude, lack of staff, volunteer turnover and of course, budget. NPO websites need to serve both marketing and functional goals to create engaging messaging and effective service delivery. Amanda Blum nails down why Wordpress is the ideal solution across the board (and speaking of which, how to convince yours).

While imparting serious info, Amanda herself is an absolute riot! See WordCamp staff come in towards the end to tell us to stop laughing so loud!
