By now I think most brides have “make a wedding web site” on their to-do list, but you might not know where to start. Weebly and Blogger are great places for a free site where only the basic computer skills are necessary.
That said, I’m pretty partial to WordPress. In my opinion, WordPress offers blogging services on professional-looking web sites. Also, they have widgets that can make your site more useful. And now they have released a template just for wedding blogs!
From WordPress:
“Forever makes it easy to welcome your family and friends to your blog with a dramatic personalized home page. The design is bold and clean with lots of room for large, colorful photos of the happy couple (that’s you!) in an optional featured post slider and home page excerpts.
You can also easily customize the color scheme and get Forever to match your wedding colors with only a few clicks. You can update the background color (or add your own pattern) from the custom background page in your blog dashboard and even change the color of the all the links from the Forever Theme Options page.
We also built in a special Guestbook Template that lets your guests take over a page of your choice with their best wishes for you … and maybe a few embarrassing stories 🙂 … as comments.”
There are other features particular to this template (check out Milestone!) and to WordPress in general that would be benefical. This might look good enough that you keep it for your family blog after the big day.
Happy blogging!
