In a previous post, I mentioned Wordpress as a great option for small business owners who want an attractive, inexpensive, easy-to-use website. Because this blog is targeted to small business owners and artists/musicians who want to make their mark in the online world, I’ve decided Wordpress needs more than a passing mention…

I’m going to do a series of blog posts that will help YOU learn about and use Wordpress for your small business or creative ventures.

Because Wordpress is a FREE open source platform, developers create themes and plugins for people like you and me, however, it’s up to us to physically create the site we want. While I hope to make the process easier, you’ll need time and patience to do this yourself because there could be a learning curve. The Twolia crowd is a bright, talented, and creatively-inclined bunch, so I have know no doubt YOU CAN DO IT.

If you’re up to creating your very own www.yournamehere.com website with Wordpress, check back every Wednesday for tips, how-to, and other information.

HOMEWORK: This week, start exploring more about what self-hosted Wordpress is and what this platform can do for your business. Visit Wordpress.org and Google “self-hosted Wordpress” to learn more.

Stay Tuned: Next week we’ll start getting dirty!
