I know this article might be a bit of a drift from my normal Mac and Apple Switcher comments, but I just realized how important Wordpress has become in my everyday life and thought I’d share a few ideas and comments with you. Wordpress is a free personal publishing platform. What is that? Well if you’re looking for a blog, or a website of any type, and you’re willing to work a little with CSS layout, Wordpress is a great solution for you.

Now to get a good feel of Wordpress you can check out the basics by going to a website called Blogsome and sign-up for a free account where you can have a Wordpress blog with almost all the administration and options available to you in the stand alone version. Spend some time and play with it, learn what happens when you make changes in the style sheets and templates, change themes, find themes and add them. Just get under the hood and learn what you can do with Wordpress.

That’s how I started and before long I was uploading Wordpress to my hosted websites and installing it in a matter of minutes and I had it up and running in an hour or less. In fact, if you go to The Mac ReviewCast website, you’ll see that it’s a simple layout, nothing fancy, but it looks clean, professional and easy to read, That took me a few hours to set up and then every week I’ve been adding a little extra to it and eventually I plan to have both columns on the left and right full of special features and graphics. This is the fourth website I’ve done in Wordpress and it will not be the last. If I can figure an easy method to move my database with stories and members and graphics and features from here at Surf-bits to Wordpress, I’ll do it in a heartbeat.
