Busy Busy…

I’ve spent the last couple of days grappling with a whole new set of skills.  I build websites, it’s what I do and how I make a living.  Anything I can do to make it easier, provided it’s ethically acceptable, is of benefit.  As I have said before I will spend money to save time so I thought I would try out FirePow as a blog/site management system.  Then comes the fun bit…  I wanted to build a site using wordpress but for the life of me I couldn’t find a theme that would work, so as there is a theme generator within FirePow I thought I would give it a try.

Was that ever a learning experience!  It’s still not quite finished so I shall wait to reveal the url for a few days - however I have to say that the Theme Generator was very easy to use - almost too easy, in fact and I did have to do a fair amount of tweaking after the event.  As a rule I would say you need to do far more thinking than I did before you start.  It would also help to watch the training video before you start rather than half way through as I did.  Make sure you have your colour scheme planned, and you have your images ready, but that aside it wasn’t as fearful a task as I thought.

As for FirePow itself -  early days yet and I don’t feel I can do a full review yet, however thus far I am impressed.  It has certainly lived up to all the promises as far as I have got, but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating as they say.  Watch this space!
