2 Weeks in....
I am coming up on my first 2 weeks in WA and I thought I'd share some thoughts.
First, I am so amazed and grateful for the warm welcome and connections that I have made. It feels so wonderful to reach out and be able to easily communicate with such a wide range of folks. I am learning so much. The community and the resources are fabulous.
So, what has been a struggle? Hands down, choosing themes for my websites has been the most difficult choice. I think I could pick a different one everyday - to match my mood. Not that I would in any way recommend doing this. Themes are not like socks. Daily changing is not required. There are many things in the WordPress themes that are new to me. I try to be patient and go step by step. It is challenging to look at all those themes and to try to figure out what you need to do to make your site resemble the slick examples! I did start to see that choosing examples that have things you want, like a place for your social media links, is easier than trying to add that space to your page. This may change as I learn more, but for a raw newbie it helps.
I feel so empowered! This is a key to success. As this feeling grows it can not help but, spill into other areas of life, nurturing and sustaining both you and your community.
Be Well!

I agree that there are tons of WordPress themes to get your blood going. You just have to pick one. There can be many more sites in your future to use some of the other great ones on! Sounds like you are doing very well, Serena!

Thanks for responding! I found some really good videos on various aspects of creating and tweaking under the live video classes link which lets you replay them.

You are having fun, exactly how it should be! You will probably find themes will become less important as you learn how to do other things but keep on enjoying it. I've been here about 12 weeks and I've loved every minute. #blessed

Hi Cecelia!
... yes - too many themes to choose from. I use Tempera and really love it!
The more you use Wordpress though, the more familiar you will be, and before you know it it will be a piece of cake for you - don't worry!
... let me know if I can be of any help to you - I'll do my best.
GMegs,
Hey I am a 2nd gen native Cape Codder! (though I ran away from cold & snow to AZ) - Thanks for responding and I will look at your theme to see what you have done to it. I played a lot of golf at Dennis Pines. I appreciate your offer of help.
