I am new to WP. I would like to build a WP blog and am looking for advice as there are so many options to choose from. I would like the ability to have a side bar with links. Embed a google map and have a place to link a video and maybe some static pictures with a few links.
Is there a light weight theme or layout you would suggest that might accomplish this. Am not skilled with coding so would prefer more straightforward options – as I will be maintaining and publishing myself. Thanks for your help in advance.
