Naples Opera Society - WordPress (after)

Ron Bowman is president of the Naples Opera Society.
Patty Fairweather and Ron Bowman transitioned their site  from a NFN Stordyboard Wizard Site to a WordPress site and just went live.

  9. The instruction and support of the NFN is wonderful
  10. There is a WordPress for Dummies book.
