But the type of operation Sean describes is going to take a lot more than an e-mail to help with. I'm not saying there aren't more people who could afford to go "solo," but there are also a lot of small to medium sized schools who already have full plates without throwing that headache on top of what they're already dealing with.

And that time and technical skill aren’t always available, not to mention the funds to have it done for you." Indeed, but help is always out there. Statenews.com has been self-publishing since 1996 along with a number of others. In most cases help is just an email away. “It takes a lot of work and technical skill to make a content management system work the way you want it to.

We had had a couple systems beforehand (CollegePublisher and a custom Ruby powered system) before that. Wordpress definitely takes getting used to, especially when crafting it to handle newspaper content.
