If you're interested in writing a blog or starting your first webpage, today's Advent article has you in mind! Today's advent freebie takes a close look at WordPress - a free blogging tool and content management system for the everyday user.
WordPress has established itself as the go-to place for self-publishing, whether you're looking for a place to post your photos or keep a blog. Many popular websites like eBay, Reuters and the New York Times publish their blogs through WordPress, which speaks volumes for just how versatile the service is.
Signing up for a basic WordPress account is free and sign up takes just a couple of minutes to complete. Once you've created an account you can start designing your own web page, with hundreds of templates available to use. Many of these are free but some of the more intricate, attractive or functional ones come with a price tag. If you're feeling particularly geeky you can try your hand at making your own designs using an HTML editor, or even edit an existing template with your own HTML code!
