...and it's something I don't know much about! Was hoping you guys could give me some pointers on the best, quickest and cheapest way to go about this.
Firstly, this is for a group of architecture students. We are in our final year and essentially need a blog to document our progress and market ourselves for our release in to the wider world
It's got to be very simple, clean, and allow embedding of images/youtube videos etc, I would also like a link to profiles of everyone in our studio.
So, looking to produce a main blog page with some links across the top, lets say 'about, students, links and contact' with the students page perhaps having a grid of mugshots which takes you to a profile page of the six students (like a cv, with some examples of their work)
Do you guys think this is something a guy with no experience can throw together in wordpress, which I'm assuming is the best way to do this?
What's the best process, do I use the recommended wordpress hosting or go somewhere else?
What about domains?
Am I able to grab a template, add content and preview before sorting out the hosting etc?
And.... quite importantly, with a wordpress blog I assume there's a graphic interface to adding content. i.e. the rest of the students can keep it updated easily.
HELP! Thanks!
