Over the past week, I have been experimenting with WordPress for my English Composition course. At first, I was a little confused on how the site worked, but after a little practice, I found WordPress to be quite simple. I do believe it is a site for adult internet users, which is a benefit. It gets a little old seeing middle schoolers run your newsfeed on Facebook and high schoolers run it on Twitter. My WordPress site showcases my most recent language composition essay, which examines the effect Twitter had on the most recent presidential election. My site can be found here.
The most intriguing aspect of WordPress is that I have the ability to customize almost any component of my site. If I were able to write in html, I could customize even more! It reminds me a little bit of my Xanga days, but far more professional than that. One of the best customization tools is being able to add pages to my home page. In my WordPress, I added an about page, a literature review page, and a page for my essay. This way, my site's layout is much cleaner and less cluttered. Using WordPress makes me feel like a professional webpage designer because it is so easy to make legitimate looking webpage.
For anyone who wants to use a website to advance a career or just gain publicity, I recommend making a WordPress. It's easy to use, and it looks professional. Other social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube can be used to get your url out to the public, and then your site can soar from there. So far, I can say that I've had a positive good with WordPress.
