Hello world (again)!

Welcome to the new Philly ALT.NET site!  We’ve decided to move to the WordPress platform for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is to improve the look and feel of the site, and also to hopefully offer the community a better experience and more timely and relevant information.

We hope you enjoy the new site as we look to grow the ALT.NET community here in Philly.
