Welcome to my "Wordpress Mistakes"!
The majority of bloggers seem to use Wordpress for their web sites, and why not? It's open source, free, easy to use, and there's tons of support for it all over the web. You can customize it with themes and plugins, and you can use it to manage just about any kind of content imaginable. You can create and manage a blog, or pages and sub-pages just like a static site, you can use categories and tags, and it's even interactive with the ability to recieve comments and trackbacks on every page. It is very easy to use the the newbie blogger, but completely hackable by the most advanced programmer. You won't find the flexibility Wordpress lends in nearly any other blogging platform in the world (trust me - I've used them all). These posts represent all the mistakes I've made with Wordpress, and hopefully they will help you as well!
