On Learning WordPress

Some people say that neccesity is the mother of invention. I didn't quiet understand what that phrase means until I decided to work on my website ALONE.

I was a bit astounded by the thought at first, but then I delved on to learning how to code head first when I realized that hiring a developer to work on my website will cost me a couple of bucks. Since I was determined enough (and cashless, mind you!) I told my husband that I will do it ( and I literally crossed my fingers as I've said this!)

So then it began. I was forced to work double time when Hubby bought the domain and its hosting at NameCheap.com. I was confident enough that I will pull through WordPress, as I have experienced setting up a blog in one of my previous projects months ago. But it turned out that WordPress.com is way too different from WordPress.org! Crap!

I told myself that I need to be resourceful, so I resorted to online tutorials. Lucky for me though, www.w3schools.com was there to my rescue. I was able to understand a bit about HTML and CSS (yes, I don't claim to be a pro). Another good thing was that I was able to choose a flexible theme called Responsive Theme created by ThemeId.com. It's pretty much easy to customize and I'm very much thankful to Mr. Emil Uzelac for patiently attending to all the questions posted by their users (that includes me!). Oh, did I mention that the theme is for free? Yup, so you might as well take advantage of that!

I still have a long way to run on learning WordPress. Sometimes invention out of neccesity is an advantage. In my case, it is.

Oh, by the way, my website is halfway done. :)
