[UCIMC-Tech] [IMC] Need Assistance Updating Jobs With Justice Website

[Josh King]

Hey Colan,

It looks like the current setup will most likely support Joomla. 
However, Chris and I are currently engaged in migrating some sites to a 
new server, so if you don't mind waiting another day or two, I can get 
you setup on a brand new server where you can get the new Joomla site 
going without having to take down the existing site.
