[Lnc-business] Appreciation for new LNC page map showing regions and regional reps

[Ken Moellman]

We saved all of the News, the Blog Entries, and the Press Releases.  It was
about 2300 pages of content, as I recall.

Regular pages were mostly replaced with new content.  Unlike the content
types listed above, the regular pages had no history and were just a
"whatever was there last" type page.  Those were replaced with new content
on the new site.
