=Get Excited about what the website can look like!=

Here are some websites, suggested by my niece (Liz) to wet our appetites and help us understand what the content can/may look like.

They were built with Wordpress, which was created as a blog platform, but can be great for creating and maintaining regular websites. Some of these sites are pretty random as I just did a quick search. (Liz)

"Traditional" blog

 * [|http://girlsandbicycles. blogspot.com/] (this is blogspot, not wordpress, but very similar)
 * [|http://gazingwestward. wordpress.com/]
 * [|http://plasticspatula. wordpress.com/] - a site Liz created that she and her sister, Laura, use to share recipes.

Blog platform used for static website
(wordpress - same tool, different structure):


 * This site was built in an afternoon with a small amount of technical help: []

Hybrid
Both static pages and blog section, all using the same tool (wordpress)
 * []
 * [|http://www.theweatherpops.com/ welcome]

More heavily customed (still the same tool)

Wordpress is a free, open source application. The best way to get familiar with it is to create an account at [|wordpress.com] and start exploring.
