I’d Rather Be Writing – Tom Johnson

WordPress, the most widely used open-source blogging software, gives you complete control over the design and display of your content. In addition to writing blog posts, WordPress allows you to create pages, add categories, customize your site design, define how posts appear, and more.

However, with WordPress’s openly accessible code and advanced control over the design and functionality, many people find themselves in over their heads quickly. If you need help with a self-hosted WordPress blog, I offer various WordPress consulting services:

For example, I can do any of the following for your WordPress blog:

• Install WordPress on a web host
• Upgrade your WordPress site to the latest version
• Recommend and implement plugins to increase your blog’s functionality
• Increase your search engine optimization (SEO)
• Customize your banner image
• Change site colors, layout, column widths, font, etc. of your existing theme
• Recommend attractive WordPress themes for your site
• Ensure wrapping of text around images and caption styling
• Customize a WordPress theme to match your existing site
• Implement a theme you choose and make as many modifications as you need.

I can also troubleshoot any problems you may have. I charge $75 an hour for my WordPress help, and will give you a specific, upfront estimate for all work I do.

Additionally, I also offer training on WordPress. Do you need an introduction to WordPress, or an advanced tutorial? Using a web session tool like Adobe Connect and Skype, I can give you a one-on-one tutorial covering everything you want to know. You can ask all the questions you want, and the topics we cover can be introductory, intermediate, or advanced — all depending on you. My fee for WordPress tutorials is also $75 an hour.
