Wordpress power

I realized today it’s been a little more than a year since I started to use WordPress blogging software. My first post was on January 7, 2009. I’ve grown used to it and think it’s probably better overall and easier for me than the HTML / CSS hand coding coding method I used to use. Not that it’s not good to learn HTML and CSS. Because I know these technologies, I can do things with WordPress that others cannot who do who do not know them.

WordPress blogs are easy for me to keep up with. Since my friend in Taiwan started to use WordPress for his Paradise Post blog, I can now keep up with him much better than when he used his former method of making web pages. What that was I do not know, but my Firefox browser didn’t seem to like it. It would freeze up on his older web site — on my Linux PC with near state of the art technology, a CPU not even a year old, (AMD Phenom II) and 4 gigs of DDR 3 RAM!

I consider the Atahualpa theme to be the best theme for WordPress, and I use it on several other WordPress websites I created such as starsandpearls.com. When I first started to use WordPress, I would change themes from one week to the next never being satisfied. Depending on the theme, some of the plugins wouldn’t work. After using Atahualpa, I’ve stuck with it because it is totally tweak-able, and after spending much time tweaking the layout the way I like it, the temptation to change themes entirely is now a thing of the past. :-) If you go to the Atahualpa theme page, you’ll see that the default theme doesn’t look so much like this site at all.
