[Baypiggies] New website for Baypiggies.net

[William Deegan]

Karen,

I'd used it for a couple other sites:
www.baddogconsulting.com (my consulting site)
www.scons.org (an open source project, I co-manage)

A static site avoids the need to keep the CMS up to date with the latest
security packages.
Authoring becomes easy, and pull requests make it easy to have a gatekeeper
on changes to the site.

Plone was really overkill for the site's actual usage.

-Bill
