Changing to WordPress as full CMS for my Website.
Posted by Mr West | Filed under Cool Things, Design
I am seriously thinking of c
hanging my website to a fully automated wp managed site that i can optimise using their clever CMS system but still have the flexibility of changing design lay outs…
I really think i want to do this but the problem i am facing is how to get going i feel that i will use an already developed theme and build from that as a starting point.
Heres one that i really like and am thinking of using…. Infinity theme….
I also do like my current theme that i have worked hard on so please advise on what you like and surgest some nice ones tooo..
Is this being lazy as in using some others designers work and then making it suit my needs..
Mee thinks not as i can use what they have do
ne and maybe better it and then move onto my own design once i have the system sussed…
i have just read a good post by one of my technical lecturers Will Goldstone
What are peoples thought
I am a chap that really enjoys photography and things that look nice. I am currently on my PGCE year at Bath University which is training me to be a ICT teacher. I love playing rugby and going Kitesurfing in Kenya which is my home away from home.

Just go for it, you have nothing to loose. I used to use WordPress for several projects but it wasn’t until last month that I actually dove in an started using WordPress for my personal/portfolio site. I am now happy that I took the leap.
As for using someone else’s work…well if you don’t change anything you can’t really make it your own. Take a theme, do some modifications…make it your own. You have nothing to loose.
