Now that the dust has settled I have time to reflect on the collective efforts of Team 8 and how attempted to help but was usually helped by my fellow team mates.
I entered this assignment with more than a pinch of trepidation. I've tangled with Wordpress before and all that I managed to do with any degree of success was mangle a page, waste a lot of time and give myself a headache.
This experience wasn't much better but I can say that I'm much more comfortable with it now.
Establishing my own page became quite a task but after two unsuccessful attempts to publish, I managed to create a bio page with a picture!
My next step was attempting to post a comment. While these seems easy enough, I was having some difficulty figuring out how to do this. There was much rejoicing after I finally figured out that I had to view the "Team 8" page to read and reply to comments.
My next conquest was adding a link to our "blogroll" and messing around with the widgets of our site. After much deliberation, I decided to leave our theme alone. It was clearly the best choice, made even more apparent when we discovered that several other groups used the same theme.
This experience has definitely forced me to revisit my initial misgivings regarding Wordpress and I have already started re-working the first page that I began and gave up on six months ago. Look for a link my new and improved site real soon.
