Me?  I love it.  I’ve had very few problems with Wordpress and it installs like a charm.  Easy as pie, in fact.  I’ve heard about people having troubles with it and some swear by Wordpress alternatives, but I’ve used Wordpress before and I’ll use it again.

What is Wordpress?  It is the application that I am using to create this blog on my own webspace.  It is free and completely customizable.  And there are literally oodles of themes out there to choose from.  Find one you like, upload it to your space and then change the colors, images and layouts to suit your tastes.  I like to keep my themes simple and I felt that this design suited me to a T.  I changed everything to red, my favorite color, and added a beautiful picture of Marilyn Monroe (just because she’s pretty).  I tweaked the code here and there and now I’m pleased with how it looks.

The only trouble that I’ve experience with Wordpress was that an embed YouTube video could be viewed correctly in Internet Explorer but completely messed up the page in Mozilla.  But I am not sure whether that was an issue with a particular theme or whether that was Wordpress as a whole.

My next post will have an embedded video.  If the video stays, it’s because it works just fine in both browsers.  If you check back and there’s no video, well, there’s your answer.

… or maybe it’s just this theme. Grrr.
