I’ve done all my websites all by my lonesome. There are some highly technical or artistic things I’d love to outsource. For example, I’d like to hire a MySQL expert to go in and clean up the database for Writing Forward. I know it’s a nasty mess because of all the changes I’ve made. If all goes well, I might be able to do that sometime this year or next.

You’re welcome.

You know, although I have figured some of it out, I’ve also outsourced a bunch too.

Thanks Michele! I’m grateful for WordPress and the way it’s changed design. Before content management systems became so accessible, I never would have attempted a site with a lot of content (how to keep track of hundreds of pages?). With WordPress, it’s a breeze, but you already know that

I used to design websites from scratch (hand-typed HTML), then I used Photoshop for awhile. I could never get along with FrontPage (or any WYSIWYG editor). But WordPress is heaven sent! I absolutely love it – both from a design perspective and for its usability. My favorite thing about it is how easy it is to make updates. It’s ideal for business owners, because they can hire a designer to create a website one time, and then take care of all their own updates. Super sweet!

All I can say is, thank heaven for Wordpress. I can't design a website from scratch, but I know what needs to be there, and they make it easy! Great post, Melissa! --Deb’s last blog post..Spinning Words 2–The Fiber
