WordPress Instructions
PLEASE NOTE:
I have not used this website since 2010. Please visit my new website for current information.
Thank you!
Your new website is built on the open source WordPress platform. Its a powerful and extremely flexible platform that allows you to add pages, text, links and images all by yourself. Once you get a feel for the platform, things will go very quickly. But at the beginning, these things can be frustrating, so we’ve put together a bunch of instructions below.
We will continue to add instructions to this page. Please use the contact form to let us know about other questions you may have. We’ll do our best to build the support structure you need. In the meantime, give it a try. EVERYTHING is difficult the first time. It’s just because you’re unfamiliar with it. But if you give it a try, you might be surprised how quickly you pick it up.
