WORDPRESS IS MORE THAN A BLOGGING SERVICE

Ok, so if you know me well then you know that although I have my moments of genius I also have my 'slow' moments. To be honest, I think my lack of realisation that blogging sites had become web site building services is one of those. Perhaps it's because of their slow, insipid creep towards being self-building websites that it's crept in under my radar. Perhaps it's because I'm still old school enough to think that sites that build websites can't be the best approach. Either way it's naive.

Not only is Wordpress an amazing way to build a website, people with little or no knowledge of how a website works can build websites in a fraction of the time it takes to build one in dreamweaver and ultimately had far more of the social media services & functionality built in than I could ever manage. Enhancing the site involves downloading another widget and installing it. Bingo. Hours of an individual's work captured and used to your end's without you missing a single night's sleep or having to cancel that date. What happened to the geek crown of sacrifice?

All I can say is, if you have ever wanted to build a website but don't know how or just want the opportunity to express some random part of your personality then give it a go. It's so easy it's embarassing.
