WordPress.org – for the more experienced website builder who understands the complexities behind terms like cpanel, DNS, webhost, softaculous, FTP, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nFirst, let me give you a little background info. The website you are reading this article on is powered by the WordPress software. About 5 years back, I had a vision of building a website with a certain appearance and a set of functionality. I had all worked out in my head. I had a little knowledge of html, css, and javascript, and I could have done a few things on Dreamweaver. But tried as I could, I could not build the website I was dreaming of building, the way I wanted to build it.<\/p>\n
I was about to hand over the job to a professional web development company when someone told me about WordPress. Then another person told me, and another. And yes, I was praying about it!<\/p>\n
I did some research and found a wonderful site was giving away free IT books in PDF. I downloaded “WordPress: The Missing Manual.” And this book was awesome. By reading this book, and a little help from God, I was able to build this site you are on from scratch.<\/p>\n
Yes, WordPress is a great tool if you want to build yourself. It doesn’t call for the world of technical skills, but you must know something. On the other hand, building a great website like this one using WordPress is not a walk in the park like some guys are raving out there: it does call for hard work, studies, dedication, skills, patience and effort. But, WordPress is one of the simplest ways of building a great looking and working website for those who don’t know how to write every bit of code in existence.<\/p>\n
Under this heading, I’ll be covering what you need to know in order to build some really great WordPress sites which work the way you want it to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
