When I first started this blog, I chose to publish it on the Typepad platform solely because I thought Wordpress was just way too technical for me. While typepad is an ok service, I feel that it is geared more towards beginners as their platform is not very flexible. I was never really that happy with Typepad though, and as you can tell I really didn’t post very often because of this. So I finally decided to take the plunge and try the Wordpress thing. At first I was thinking of hiring someone to install Wordpress on my server because my current host provider does not use the popular cPanel management system and therefore I had no access to the Fantastico script which I hear makes it easy. But I wanted to get my hands dirty and at least try to install it myself. I followed the instructions on the Wordpress site and successfully installed the wordpress database with no issues. Surprisingly installing wordpress wasn’t very hard at all.
Next, I did some research on themes. There are so many pretty themes to choose from so this was a hard task indeed. After hours of research, I decided to go with the Headway theme. Why? First and foremost, as I mentioned before, I’m not a very technical person. I needed to go with a theme that would be easy. I didn’t want to have to mess around with CSS and PHP coding just to get my site to look decent. Well the Headway theme is very easy to use and customize. Because Headway has a visual editor where you can drag and drop different elements on the page, you can choose font styles, colors and more to get your blog to look the way you want it to very quickly and easily. With this theme your blog does not have to look like everyone else’s. You can easily transform it to a magazine type blog or a very simple blog just with a few clicks. I was able to set up this blog on Wordpress and customize the theme in about 30 minutes. Not bad for a first time Wordpress user!
So as a final note, what I would say to others who are scared to try something new is to just do it! It may not be as difficult as it looks!
