[Lilug] New LILUG website! Check it out

[iN8sWoRld.net]

Nice!

I have a bunch of sites on dreamhost and I also have moved to static or
mostly static pages for security and speed.
Its pretty easy to set up a git repo on dreamhost with a hook to publish
your changes when you push to it. That would give you change control.
Since its only me I haven't looked at how easy it would be to set up other
users for that repo but I know it works.  I have a local environment set up
so that I can develop and check everything is going to lay out correctly
and then I commit and push (command line) and its live.
