Are You A Wordpress Wizard

If you are one of the many millions of "bloggers" on the web today, I'm sure you've come across the Wordpress platform for blogging.  And, if you did some digging you quickly realized that not only could you create a "blog" BUT you could actually take that blog and turn it into a very functional WEBSITE!!!

A little over a year ago, I started my own business as a Virtual Office Assistant.  The first thing that other self-employed business owners will recommend is that you have a "web presence".  So, I did a bit more research and came across the Wordpress site.  There are two versions of Wordpress.  The "FREE" version, or Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org for those who wish to expand their web presence by having another provider "host" your site, or get it out there on the cyberspace superhighway!!  That latter, also allows the user to have more flexibility and options in turning your blog page into a full fledged website.  I decided to start with the Wordpress free site to see how difficult it would be to put a site together.  I was actually quite surprised at how easy it was to put together a simple blog site.  Wordpress offers tons of pre-made templates that you can use, and it will allow for minimal customization.  Well, being the perfectionist that I am, I quickly became dissatisfied with the free site, and wanted to do more.  I decided to delve into the more advanced site, Wordpress.org and from there things exploded!  I was amazed at all the options available and ways you could turn your blog into an actual, functioning, SEO website!!  Well, as quickly as I became dissatisfied with the free version of Wordpress, I became equally DISCOURAGED and FRUSTRATED with the more advanced, more technical version.  I really did not have the tools (by way of training) to make a really great website.  So, I called upon another VA I had met while networking through social media.  She is truly a WORDPRESS WIZARD!!!  ANYONE who is thinking of designing their own website NEEDS to look her up.  She has the knowledge, tools, and training available you will need to help get your website up and running, hosted, and customized for your own personal business needs.

Her name, T.Marie Hilton, owner and guru of Clerical Advantage and Girly Girl Geek.  She has been my lifesaver a number of times.  There are so many things I want to learn from her and can't wait for her next "bootcamp" so that I can tap into more of her great resources.   I am hoping that I can one day also be a "WORDPRESS WIZARD"!!  But for now I will be content to be the apprentice!!
