Do you have a website or a blog? If you are an artist, writer or designer; you should.

A website is the easiest way to showcase your work and connect with others. It’s also easier than ever to set up.

There are many free blogging platforms. However, my favorite is WordPress. You can easily set up a site with or without the purchase of a domain name. There are numerous theme templates available. There is support via a community and numerous articles. The list goes on and on.

One of my most favorite aspects of WordPress is that you can have a blog OR a website (or both). For those of you that don’t need or want a blog, you can find a theme that makes your site look like any other professional website – no code needed.

I’ve been using WordPress for three years now and it’s what I use for all of my sites. While you don’t need to learn code, I’ve learned enough to take my sites to the next level so that I can customize already existing themes. I also use a variety of plugins to keep my sites running smoothly.

If you are thinking about starting your own blog or professional site, but are worried that you need a website designer or have to know a whole lot of code; check out wordpress.com and wordpress.org.
