There is no secret about how much I love WordPress. It has made my life so much easier since I have embraced it but it wasn’t always that way. I look at web design as two parts – the designing of the graphics and then the back-end with the HTML and CSS. I have no problem doing both but sometimes the coding part can really kick your butt. I hate when I am working on some html edits and something goes wrong. Then it take me hours to figure out what’s wrong and it turns I added an extra character or missing spell a piece of code. That’s when you know it time to step away from the computer.
WordPress wasn’t the first CMS (content management system) that I used. I was on Blogger many years ago. I used Greymatter, Movabletype and even try building my own by following this tutorial I found online. WordPress however has been the one I stuck with the longest. There is several reasons why I love using it and love recommending that others do as well. I mention before that that I found it very flexible but not everyone feels that way. Here’s why I believe it very flexible and that anyone can be a WordPress whiz.
You can have what every kind of site you want.
You just want to blog, you can do that with WP right out the box. You want to have a traditional website for your business, you can have that too. You have products to sell, you can set up an e-commerce site. You can have what ever your heart desires. When it comes to the look and design of the site or blog there are millions of themes to choose from (free and paid).

Yay! Evelyn, You go girl!
I'm also a WordPress fan. I just did a WP site with a static home page. So, it's a website built on the flexible WP CMS. ;-)
No I'm not having problems with WordPress. I started off talking about how I got into web design (doing everything by hand) and how I came to start using WordPress. I love WordPress but I know that it may not be for everyone.
You a graphic designer and you're having isues with wordpress. This makes me even more cautious about using wordpress, unless I unless I hire a designer. I really like the look and versatility of wordpress on your own site but I am not really a techie and I HATE having to try and track down problems with the coding.
