I’m currently working on a custom WordPress template, mainly to power this site, but also to extend my WordPressing skills. I’m a big WordPress fan and it has come a long way since the its first iteration, when it was just a lowly blogging framework, battling it out with Blogger.com and Typepad for the spoils of the (then) newly discovered world of blogging.

Now, WordPress is an extremely powerful tool that can be used for a huge range of needs – from CMS’s to E-commerce, WordPress is THE essential web-designers tool (IMHO). And the best thing about WordPress? It’s open source which means it’s free. Yes, that’s right, I said FREE. Of course, you can pay for themes, templates, widgets etc but WP is simple enough for anyone, and I mean anyone, to get a site up and running within minutes.

Of course, if you think that this might be too much for you, or you don’t have enough time, then you could always turn to a WordPress developer (like me!) and get them to do all the hard work for you.

Anyway, check back soon for more details on the custom theme….
