I can’t believe how brilliant WordPress is! I guess I can see that it’s more of a blogging solution rather than a full blown content management system but I’m seriously stretching my brain to think of any small to medium sized business that couldn’t use WordPress for the CMS.

Let’s face it – these days most small businesses, particularly those with a web focus or at least those that are trying to enhance their web presence, are publishing a regular blog anyway. The blogging capabilities of WordPress are obviously it’s bread and butter but I’m seriously impressed with the whole thing! It’s so incredibly easy to use.

I’ve tried out Joomla and Drupal – I’ve spent way too many hours trying those out! I’ve tried to learn enough of those solutions to have them as a useful tool in my belt but I’ve given up! They’re just so damn bloated full of junk and so (at least for me) unintuitive! I’ve taken my static HTML site (the one you are on right now) and turned it into a site where the entire content is managed by WordPress and I have added a blog to boot – all within 4 hours of work. And that’s from someone that has never played with WordPress before.

Congrats to the people at WordPress – seriously – what a breathe of fresh air!

Welcome to my blog by the way – I’m hoping to post some useful information and observations about things I am interested in from here. I’m not expecting a readership – but if I can be here and answer someone’s question through a Google search at some point that will be good enough for me!
