New Website Coming Soon!

We have been working with our web partners Monday Love You on a completely revamped MIDI.org website that we will be launching soon. 

We are only about a week away from the launch.  

The new site is based on Wordpress (this current site is based on Joomla) and there will be be new forums and articles, but all of the old posts and articles have already been migrated over to the new site.
