   Hello All!   
      
   For the last 10 years I've been involved in building and     
   maintaining a site to chronicle and archive news clippings of     
   births, obits, marriages, and postcards, etc.. primarily of the     
   Welland Ontario region.  It has since expanded into three     
   "sections" (Main, Tales, Events) each requiring their own CMS     
   installations.   
      
   If you are interested in exploring photos of barns and churches     
   all over southern Ontario and other pieces of history ..then     
   check out:   
      
    https://wellandhistory.ca   
      
   The S)earch feature works fairly well.  Look up names, places,     
   dates.  Even content of Comments is included.   
      
   I'll admit, that a fresher CMS design would be ideal (this *was*     
   innovative for its time 10 years ago afterall!), but the     
   original intent is primary an archive.   
      
   It is a project where the founders prefer to be known as "S & B"   
      
   Every newsclipping was cropped, resized, reshaped. That's over     
   10,000 now.  Every post was planted and re-edited when required     
   - those exceed 11,000.   
      
   It runs on an older Wordpress version. I'd love to have a better     
   photo gallery. But it will have to do for a little while longer.     
   Porting to a newer WP would be *another* project!   
      
   And that's a little glipse of my world.
