Is wordpress the easiest place to create websites?
I am familiar with microsoft office to create websites. Can I do it there and import?
Hey Kelly,
You could create your website in whatever platform or tool you want. However, much of the training available here is with using WordPress. The huge advantage of WordPress is that because of its ease of use, you won't have to spend a lot of time trying to make your site look good and you can instead spend your time on creating quality content.
I've done a fair amount of web design/site building in my day using all kinds of tools, including Microsoft's FrontOffice, etc. Since I started using WordPress several years ago, I can't remember the last time I built a website using standard HTML tools like Dreamweaver, FrontOffice, etc. And I have no intentions of going back.
I believe it's completely worth it to make the switch to WordPress. The learning curve is very minimal and the power of what you can do with it via themes, plugins, and widgets, is very tough to beat when doing all of that yourself via standard HTML.
Best Regards,
Jim
You've put it in a nutshell, Jim. WordPress is here to stay and all those other ways of putting up a website are sooo obsolete. I've been there and done it all and WordPress is by far the easiest way to do it. ~Marion

When I find a theme for my website, it often comes back up without the picture and I have to go back to find another "theme". Any suggestions on this?
First, before you ask a theme related question, you must tell us which theme you are using as the answers are going to be theme specific.
I wrote a post about uploading pictures to a website here: http://blogwithwordpress.com/add-a-picture-to-your-wordpress-post/
There will be a place in your theme to add a header picture so you can look there to find out what size the picture needs to be and upload it, look under Appearance -> Customize for the specifics. ~Marion
OK - so this helps MUCH! My pix doesn't load either but at least now I know why... Thank you! God Bless! ~Cathy
Most themes when you choose them will not have the example photos once loaded. You will have to load your own pictures. The themes are shown as examples to show you how your photos will look when you upload them. Not sure what is going on but this is what it sounds like to me.
Ahhh...haaa....I was just realizing that!!! So just have to figure out how to upload the photos...Thank you NorCal2319.
there is good training about images https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-find-add-images-to-your-website
I click on the "theme" for the website and then the picture is missing from my website when I look at it. The "hello world" is there and other words but the actual picture is not there. This morning, it has already happened three times
Yes. I did one before and just kept trying till it worked but it is very time consuming and I am wondering if there is a better way.
Well, what exactly are you doing? Trying to add a photo? Switching out a photo? Just trying to see where we need to start...
Once I go to "find a theme", I find one I like and click on it. Then I go to "build my website". When I look at the website, it does not have a picture on it, only words. I keep trying a new theme, but it just won't load the picture
Once you select a Theme, you have to click on Add New...then, you can choose to begin adding your information.

Hi Kelly, It seems that you have you home page set up for blogging. Until you start putting content on a post there will not be anything on the home page.
