i'm new to blogging, and i've been recommended that wordpress is the easiest and best tool.
i tried some wordpress templates and plan to combine it w/ elementor, but things don't seem easy to me and now i'm thinking if i should move to slahpage or squarespace, both of which were much easier for me.
now my question is, which part of wordpress was the hardest for you? do you think wordpress is easy to use? any problems you encountered? would appreciate hearing your experience!
Yes. I think WordPress is to use.
Elementor is overkill for a blog. So many people think Elementor or other page builders are “necessary” for WordPress, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Use a regular Gutenberg compatible theme.
WordPress is one of the best turnkey solutions for professional blogging, but it’s by no means the only option. Feel free to use whichever seems best to you. Try to avoid “walled gardens” that lock you in and make it hard to leave.
WP is like English language. Easy to learn the basics, takes time and learning to be able to write poetry, essay, novel, legal document.
The main reason I like wp is that it’s such a well-known and used platform that there’s a ton of tutorials and help out there, lots of plugins, tools, etc. I generally find I’m less “locked in” with wp than with smaller, newer platforms with fewer options. I currently manage a wp site at work and previously worked at a place where we designed wp sites for small businesses and I would train the users on their new sites. It was pretty accessible even for small business users who weren’t too computer literate.
