[SAC] New Wordpress Install this month [Need Volunteers]

[Alex M]

Great, then the todo list is:
1. Get the Theme
2. Decide on migration method:
 2a. Use the wordpress migrate feature
 2b. Manually copy an export from wordpress
 2c. Manually copy the material and db (least preferred).

Can you ask them to provide the Theme, and a site export for method 2b.

Thanks,
Alex
