I have to say, I am completely hooked on WordPress. I absolutely love this software, and hey you can’t complain about the price – FREE.  I’ve been doing alot of playing around with it.  I find I learn more by doing, then by listening how to do it.  So I’ve set myself up with a WordPress demo site and for the past 6 months I’ve been using it as a learning tool.   Playing with themes, customizing headers, adding widgets and plugins, I’ve learned so much, but the bottomline is it’s really not that hard.

WordPress is so intuitive, it’s simple to use yet, very robust.  Did you know that you could use WordPress to create a full, functioning website?  Yes, you can, there are some awesome premium themes that you can use to create a very cool looking site that has all the functions and features of a HTML website (without having to figure out all that code).   In fact, I will be very shortly creating a website using WordPress for the launch of my new book which is due to hit the masses in June.  I can’t wait to show it to you when it’s complete.  

When I made the decision to create my site with WordPress I was pleasantly surprised with all of the resources available. I found some great tutorials and sites that offer premium themes (at a minimal cost), provide great customization ability and simply look amazing.   Again the key word here is simplicity.  With a simple upload of a theme and a few tweaks here and there, you could easily have a website in half the time (even ¼ of the time) it would take you to create an HTML site.  Trust me, you’ll be amazed.

So, if you are in the market for a new site, I want to encourage you to have a look at WordPress.  Here are a few resources to get you started:
