Quick explanation of why this is posted here

If you've been reading this blog for a long time, here's a quick explanation of why there's an add for a non-CMS business. Well, several years I ran multiple different businesses under the name "Alledia". Last year, the businesses diverged as we divided them into two:

1. Open Source Training LLC for our CMS training business.
2. Alledia Inc. for running a host of non-CMS websites. The sites are mostly regional and include AppalachianTrail.com, LakeLanier.com and LakeAllatoona.com.

Since then, Open Source Training has taken off like a rocket and has occupied the majority of my work time. As a consequence, we're looking to hire someone to keep the Alledia sites up-to-date.
