Wordpress LogoI recently switched to using Wordpress on every new site I create, and it’s been a wonderful experience. There’s very little chance I’ll switch back to HTML and table layouts ever again. Sometimes you have to search to figure out little things in Wordpress, but most of the time there’s a plug-in to solve your problems. Awesome, right? More >
