They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but these days on the web, it seems that a little knowledge is all you really need.  One of the big challenges for any nonprofit organization, but especially for smaller ones, is managing a good website.  It used to be that a website meant expensive consultants, but more and more nonprofit organizations seem to be making it on their own, with the help of some smart volunteers or interns and a raft of free software and services.  Specifically, we’ve been seeing more and more nonprofit organizations building their website with blogging tools like WordPress.  In fact, we might even be a little behind the times on this one, as the Non-Profit Tech Blog broke the WordPress for NPO story back in December.

Last month, we did a survey of the participants in our webinar, SEO for the NPO, and found that over half are making their website go with staff they already have who also do other jobs.  Add to that the 14% running on intern or volunteer power and you get over two thirds doing it their way.  Additionally, 19% are outsourcing their websites and a mere 13% have dedicated web staff in their organizations.

We’re curious, have you taken the WordPress plunge?  Besides this very blog, Firstgiving is also using WordPress for our new help and support site.  Take our poll below and see the results.
