[AccessD] Wordpress, Blogs and sidebars

[Jim Lawrence]

One WP teacher at the local college has been web designing since 1998 and she says there is still more to know. As an Open Source product, it evolves daily. 

Aside: If you check the WP Github site you will see that it has had over 1,200 commits in just two weeks via over 40 currently active contributors. WP is not unstable but it is advancing at an incredible speed.

If WordPress mystifies you, you are in good company. :-)

I too am wandering down this path and am much mystified as to how it all
works. Plogging along as best i can but it is not easy.
