Blogging With Wordpress (with help)
This blog is created using Typepad but more recently, with the help of Steve, I have discovered Wordpress (so expect a change soon).
Now, being a non-techie, it is a bit more complicated than the ease of which Typepad works but with the wonderful world of plug-ins, oh so much more powerful.
My first attempt was an extension of my work with a client with a Beauty Blog for Men, using cutline (a wordpress theme from Chris Pearson) adapted ever so slightly - there’s no shame in using a template I like to think (if it works and is appropriate).
Over the past two weeks (and with some playing about) I have also loading some cool plug-ins to help me control my tagging (mainly titles and descriptions) to create blog posts that also look nice in search results.
I also found this great article, some of which even makes sense to me: 10 Things I Do After A Fresh Wordpress install.
If you have the budget for a web design agency (I know a good one 
), go for Wordpress , get a template designed and your hosting set-up and even get a little training if you need it… then, blog away.

Wordpress is the way to go! It’s really simple, and in my opinion, much more powerful than most of the other options out there, if not all.
