Told ya – WordPress Rocks

In particular for my IMD335 students who are learning why I harp on learning to use WordPress…good article with massive resources posted on Smashing today!  Now, I don’t necessarily recommend that you use WP for your Portfolio Show site but for your own personal portfolio, not a bad idea.

WordPress is often thought of as just a blogging platform. But it’s capable of so much more. Even WordPress’ documentation includes an entire section on using WordPress as a content management system. Because WordPress is such an easy-to-use platform, it makes sense to consider using it as a platform to build just about any kind of website, a portfolio website included.

Whether you’re a photographer, graphic designer, Web designer or any other kind of visual artist, WordPress makes an excellent starting point for developing your online portfolio. And with the wealth of plug-ins and ready-made themes available, you can usually get a perfectly presentable website up and running in a matter of hours.

So get on the bandwagon, listen, learn, try, play and get some stuff done!
