It was great to hear how Varsity News Network has grown, and the creative ways they’ve used WordPress. I met Ryan a few years ago at a startup event in Zeeland, MI, and later heard him pitch VNN in Grand Rapids, MI. VNN comes up every so often when I speak with other local WordPress professionals and school clients who use VNN. Here’s to their continued success!
