For over a year now, I’ve been learning about Wordpress. It’s a powerful, open source, content management software, great for professional websites. Mostly because it stores, sorts and displays: documents, photos, portfolio files, drawings, and files of all types. And it’s an excellent blog or journal platform. Content is easily found by search engines.

Also because once the site is built, it’s easy to add pages, articles, posts, and change elements around.

BUT, it sure isn’t all that easy to learn how the code works exactly, and then to change it to display the site exactly like I want it to or how it’s supposed to look. Browsers show different designs sometimes.

I’m determined to finish building this site myself, so I keep plugging away at the graphic design (I’m learning that, too) and the site code … CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and PHP (the actual programming language). I think it’s looking better on the front end, and the code sure is working better behind the scenes.

All in all, great progress. Irie.
