Thripp Sat, 19 Sep 2009 15:11:11 +0000 http://www.ucwebcreations.com/?p=879#comment-124 At the end of 2007 I opened my site. I chose WordPress and I've been using it ever since. I chose to learn HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL on my own at that point, which took many months, but the long-term benefits have been huge. I don't need a web designed or developer. Not that my site is that flashy. :D There are more themes and plugins available now than two years ago, and they are generally of a better quality. The bar has gone up, and the WordPress developers have made plugins and themes easier for the non-techies. You can make a nice WordPress blog with no knowledge of PHP or HTML. I use to manage static HTML sites; as you've found it's a real pain. While a WordPress site has a higher up-front investment, it pays off once you've made a dozen posts or pages. .-= Richard X.
