Thinking of using WordPress for an occasional
..but not scheduled...document with words and photos...no commercial intent..
Can you share examples/outtakes? Your thoughts?
I use Wordpress for a lake association website I build and I maintain. Maintaining the website content is not something I like to do, so I want it to be as painless as possible.
I think it's all about the Wordpress theme you decide to use. Some are free; others you pay for. Some themes are better for blogging sites; other themes for a more traditional website. If you find a website that you think you like, there are websites that will tell you whether it uses a Wordpress theme and, if so, what theme it uses.
I use a hosting service. I get regular Wordpress updates and have never had an issue.
