Looking for an LRC Wordpress Developer

I don't have the time to get the webpage done, but in a few weeks my schedule opens up and I would be willing to work on a windows phone app for free. You guys can email me a rough idea of what you would want in it if you're interested.

Not to steal your thunder, but what path do you recommend for someone looking to get into Windows Phone programming? Any good books? Sites? etc.

I think Windows Phone is about to take off in a big way.

Looks like the beta wordpress site is up?!

Nice work...a ways to go obviously, but this is pretty slick. Eventually I think the whole site should be moved to a modern CMS with RSS feeds, better organization, mobile site, etc. This is a big step in the right direction.

RSS? Welcome to 1998. NO one, and I mean NO ONE uses RSS.

Sheesh!

Wordpress? Really? What a waste of time. Wordpress is the Dean K. of web development.

False. Definitely still used!

Would love the ability to track running news and good threads via RSS.

Thanks for the positive feedback. We have a lot of ideas of how to move forward. We essentially want a way to better organize information and have the tons of LRC content link together. We're always interested in your ideas. Email letsrun@letsrun.com, or you can post here.

It looks fine, but how can you tell that's a wordpress page?

How do you figure that?

Well, it's the Dean K. of web development in the sense that I don't like it. Wordpress is designed to meet MANY needs. It is designed so that MANY people can stir up simple websites without much development experience. I suppose it's fine for serving static content like LetsRun, but I would prefer to build something more specialized and configurable from the ground up. I'm not trying to bash the new wordpress LetRun site here, I'm just saying it could be better...

Could it really be? LRC is looking good! kudos
