WordPress Websites are not Scary, Tricky, or Bad Luck!

Does creating a website for your students sound scary and overwhelming?
I don’t know how to code a website. I don’t want to spend lots of money for tools to do it.

So some of you may know that I am a coder but I haven’t had time to really make my website great for my students. Adding new things was a chore since I did code everything.

My husband recommended I switch over to a WordPress site for my Math content, and for our farm information. I was leery at first since, I didn’t want to do a blog, since I am not that chatty of a person. However, I thought I would check into it. However, the first few books and internet searches I did were super basic and believe it or not at parts confusing. They said get a domain, hosting site, blah, blah, blah. I already had those things. So I went to my hosting company, and they had a button to push if I wanted to use WordPress and the WordPress app had all the tutorials and tools I really needed.

What? You don’t have a webhost? That’s okay, go to www.wordpress.org or www.wordpress.com and you can get started! The .org site is information about the free open source tool. The .com site is where you can get started with a free blog. I started one on there, but it is small. However, you can still do quite a bit for your students. They do have plans you can pay for that allow you to do more than just a basic blog. Even the free basic blog will allow you to categorize your posts, which will help your students find what they need when they need it.
