Microsoft Dynamics GPOkay not actually as confusing as the title suggests but Mark Polino has migrated hs blog from Blogspot to Wordpress and now has the address www.DynamicsAccounting.net pointing to the blog so update your bookmarks and go to the new site for his regular updates on happenings in the Dynamics GP community.

Mark has kept a theme very similar to the one on the Blogspot version so you should be able to adapt to the new site and keep up to date without any problems.

It also marks another GP blog using Wordpress along with Victoria Yudin, Ian Stewart, Vaidy Mohan, Sivakumar Venkataraman and I.
