See that sunrise? It’s the start of a glorious day. Reminds me of Wordpress.

I don’t mind telling you, I love Wordpress.

I am that analytical personality … in areas where it’s fun for me to be analytical. When it comes to writing, I am very detail-oriented. I have to stop myself from investigating every nook and cranny when I’m working on an assignment … or I will happily research forever. A famous writer once said that a book is never finished, it is only abandoned. It’s true for a lot more than just books …

However, I am NOT at all analytical in areas where it’s not fun for me. Like putting up a website, for instance. Yes, I’ve forced myself to learn some HTML code over the years. But I hate it.

I’ve actually put up some rudimentary websites, from scratch. But I hate it.

I’ve even answered questions from those who know even less than I do about putting up a website. I REALLY hate that!

And all this is why WordPress is my darling. It is now so versatile, you can do just about anything with it, and all you need to do is learn which buttons to click. No techie stuff.

I LOVE that!

I recently took a course from Dr. Andy Williams, lessons about how to do virtually anything with Wordpress. OK, it got borderline techie, but I still put up with it. I understand a lot more now about how to use the software, and that should definitely get better results. Here is a recent article from Dr. Andy about Wordpress. Be sure to watch the video, too:

Is WordPress The Ideal Site-Building Tool?

Maybe the most intriguing feature of WordPress is, it is “open source”, which means anybody can take the software and modify it. And a ton of people have created modifications - also known as “plug-ins”, to do a host of really valuable tasks.

My blogs now use about 15 or 20 plug-ins to make promotion much easier and to make writing much easier … or entering a graphic or a video or audio.

It’s very frustrating when you know what you want to do, but you don’t know how. With Wordpress, I run into that problem very rarely.

My conclusion is, whatever you want to do online, you can do it with a WordPress blog. Get your domain name at NameCheap. Get your webspace at HostGator. And then find the video in the HostGator Back Office that shows you in 2-3 minutes how to put up your Wordpress blog, and you will be on your way.

Some people think that because they are not analytical personalities, this will be very difficult for them. Believe me - I am NOT an analytical personality when it comes to putting up a web page.

If I can do it, you absolutely can do it.
