First Impression of WordPress

Today I gave a short presentation on Word 2007 at VCOMA the Venture Capital Office Manager’s Association. What I didn’t realize until last night was that my web address was given out in the invitation. The web address pointed to my Windows Live blog that I had set up about a month ago. I’ve gotten really busy with work and life and since I was going to change it, decided to stop posting. What I discovered was that someone actually went and looked at the site because I got an email from them. During this presentation I was showing them new features of Word 2007, and more than once, because the presentation was so short, I told the attendees, “When I blog, I’ll write about that.” That being one or more things that I either liked or didn’t like about the new Word. Well, when I got back to my office today, I realized I better get a blog back up and going! So, I decided to try WordPress.

I set it up in about 5 minutes! I did spend way more than 5 minutes later looking at the different predefined themes. I do wish they were a little more customizable. I realize that some are more customizable than others. It has been really easy to create posts and create links. I did add my picture to my profile. That wasn’t so straightforward but I did figure it out within a few minutes.

I’ll continue to write about my impressions of WordPress. My first impression was that it is easy to work with, and the design is pretty darn nice given how much effort went into it on my part!

I did try to add a comment. It was simple. Why don’t you try leaving a comment!
