Paranormal author Jami Gold is conducting two hour-long classes this week that will show you how to set up a free or hosted website using WordPress.
It's one of many classes available through WANA (We Are Not Alone) International, a social media site started by Kristen Lamb to teach creative professionals how
to build effective online platforms.
Neither class is free but they both include handouts and access to a private web page with additional info.
I haven't decided which one would be better, so I'd appreciate your feedback.
- Do you have a Wordpress account?
- Is it free (Wordpress.com) or hosted (Wordpress.org)?
- What made you decide on one rather than the other?
- Did you set it up yourself or did you have help?
Thanks!
The webinar on free sites is April 23 from 7:00 -8:00 p.m. EST. More info here: http://wanaintl.com/event-registration/?ee=133
For those interested in a hosted
site (more bells and whistles, but they come with a price), the webinar
is April 25 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. EST. More info here: http://wanaintl.com/event-registration/?ee=134

I don't use Wordpress but I know some people like it and feel like they somehow don't control their work enough on Blogger. A big book review blog I read just converted from Blogger to Wordpress and I think really likes it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the decision.
I've just been thinking about the idea of wordpress. I don't know enough about it to switch now, but I'll probably take some time to look into it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads' up!
I'll let you know if I take either course. Still on the fence.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly love to know more about Wordpress.
ReplyDeleteAt present, only my blog is on Wordpress. I use a free template, although I did pay for font customization. My domain and webpage are hosted on Go Daddy. I did my own web design (which is probably obvious) rather than use a template. This was years ago when there were few webpage templates available via any platform
For blogging, I find Wordpress less user-friendly than Blogger. I'm constantly having to search the web for html code to get my page to look like I want it to. Plus, there are things I could do on Blogger that I can't do on Wordpress. That said, I prefer the clean design.
I wanted to start a new blog with a slightly different thrust than my old Blogger blog, so I went with Wordpress.
I always set everything up myself because I'm poor. :)

Kathryn, Thank you for blogging about my classes!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. I'd be happy to answer any questions. :)
