Hi

That's a very nice site. Might I ask which plug-ins and widgets are you running on that WP site?

Hi Gus,

I recommend hiring a professional. *cough* ;)

But seriously, take a look at MyBPBear.com. It acts like a website, but it's actually a Wordpress blog that I put together for a client over the past couple of weeks.

The "theme" (design) cost $20 and Wordpress is free. You'll have to pay for hosting, but you can get that for as little as $6 USD a month, depending on the company. And of course, you'll have to pay someone to write the content if that isn't something you want to do yourself.

There is a bit of a learning curve, but Wordpress allows you to modify your own site and add new content quickly and easily, anytime. There are literally thousands of Wordpress designs out there, so I'm sure you can find one that you like. And another bonus--Google loves Wordpress. It's very easy to make a WP blog SEO-friendly.

As you can probably tell, I'm a HUGE fan of Wordpress for entrepreneurs.

Hope this helps,
Kathleen

Very well structured, Roger! I plan to put together a site soon. Can you recommend a good template source that can be a starting point?

HI VM,

Most of what I'm running isn't visible on the front end. I've got 16 plugins chugging away right now, including:

AddRSS
AddToAny
BackupWordpress *
Exclude Pages From Navigation *
Formbuilder *
Headspace2 *
LimitPosts
MyPageOrder *
Twitterblog
WP-Polls
WPAudio
XMLSitemaps *

*I think these are indispensible.

Hi Ian, et al,

I've been there and do that -- I can proof and edit others but not myself... I remember showing my son a work-up of a flyer that I was working on and he said "Dad, you mis-spelled Ellner" -- I didn't see my typo until he pointed it out...

Graham, perhaps it a sign of me getting older, but although I can easily spot errors in other people's work, I really have a problem with my own. Does anyone else find this?
It's as if I become too close with my work, too involved to see those errors. Perhaps it's an inner conflict, denying reality for the sake of a mistaken perception of my own omnipotence?

Sod you! ;-)
Cheers. Must have read it 1000 times and not noticed! Ian Jay said:

How to do Inductions is fast becomming the premier online resource for hypnotic inductions. It's the little errors that other people notice ;-) I am terrible at picking up my typo's too!

Yup...this is why I don't proofread my own work. I even say so in my freelance agreement. I cannot see my own writing errors. And proofreading is a skill set unto itself.

Blogs these days are the best idea and you can use blog pages for your whole site. Very easy to use. Wordpress is a doddle and if you go for something like wordpressdirect.com which is a free service that will get your blog up and running without you having to know any html or anything and you can choose a theme that suits your needs. Then you can give people advice as well by way of the blogs, so that they can see how good you are and that you are an expert in your field.

Hope this helps

Hi

Just want to say "Thank you" for your informative reply. I will look into some of those to see if it would help me out at my blog. Some of those plug-ins are ones I've never heard of!
Thanks again!

You're very welcome, VM. :) I"m glad to be able to help out.

WordPress is open-source, so it has grown organically over the years and in the past year has turned into a pretty amazing content management system (CMS). Once you have a "theme" (design) set up, it's super simple to add new pages and posts (content) and organize the content in a lot of different ways.

A lot of the "back-end" widgets I use are workarounds for things that are missing in the Wordpress software itself. All WP codes is written by volunteers, and no one is the boss of them, so there are certain features and/or functionality that aren't included in WP. Luckily, there are programmers all over the world who create plugins to fill those gaps.

There are other content management systems out there (Drupal and Joomla are very well-known) but I have found WP much easier to use for a newbie.

There's just so much I like about it. I was able to put MyBPBear.com together in about 2 hours once I had all the "ingredients" assembled. That template is "right out of the box," with one or two tiny modifications to the CSS (cascading style sheets).

Yup, I'm a fan. :)

I agree with you Kathleen, Wordpress is wonderful for newbies and very easy to use on an ongoing basis, I myself though have been heavily leaning toward Joomla ever since it replaced Mambo as my CMS of choice, Both systems use plug ins as thier "band aids" of choice to add new features. The increased use of Multi media seems to be taking things in a new direction though and I am wondering what new things will happen with CMS systems as HTML5 begins to provide viable options to Flash animation techniques,
