wordpressWe purchased socialmediatrainingcamp.com on December 29th. By January 1st (the day of this writing) we have a functioning, online website for promoting out training camps. Yes, there’s some content to add, and images to create, but essentially it’s done. Most of you won’t be reading this until January 6th when we officially launch. Our site should have all of the kinks out by then, and completed in less than 10 days. without paying anyone to create it for us.

What’s the point of this post? It’s not to show off. None of us are full time web designers. But all of us understand the power of WordPress, and why it’s the gold standard for content creation software. With it, you can build a basic blog in about 15 minutes, or a highly customized, blog intergrated website like this one in a matter of days. It’s easy enough for a beginner, and never runs out of steam for advanced web designers.

When people ask us how to get started, the answer is always the same. Go to wordpress.com and start a blog for free. It’s as easy as sending an email, but that’s not why we reccomend it. What sets WordPress apart is that it will grow with you. From a simple wordpress.com blog, to self hosted solutions, to custom sites like this. Go on now, get started.
