I chose WordPress as it seemed to have developed significantly over the last few years and has many active sites from blogs, to web sites and quite a big ecosystem of plugins and themes.
I had read an article in .Net magazine on how to improve the interactive aspects of WordPress and I confess that I was surprised at the capability being outlined, so not only to have a look at WordPress, I felt the need to jump right in….for the first time!
This theme for the site as it stands is called Twenty Ten and looks basic but functional. I still don’t know how to use much of the dashboard but I will get there.
There seems to be lots of Themes available, both free and commercial. The general comments I have read seem to recommend a theme called Thesis. I will continue to explore this one for now and read up on Thesis and then say more later.
Need to look at plugins too
