It has been a rather interesting experience setting up the website. I will admit that I am surprised at how good wordpress is as a CMS, considering I thought it was only a blogging tool. Having a local web server to develop the theme on has been a great help, so that I don’t have to keep logging on and off to the host site just to check if things worked.

The host I set up on touted an automatic install, however I went for the light option and set up everything myself. I prefer it this way as I have more control.

Well I look forward to when the website is completed so that I can start promoting my writing!!

I have found this website to be most helpful if you want to give wordpress a go.
