Re: WordPress Designer needed

[Kathleen MacDowell <kathleen -dot- eamd -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Personally, I've never found WordPress easy to use. I even got a book;
it was so little help I just fuggadaboudit. I've heard many others say
the same (about WordPress).

Perhaps your book is different, Mike M., but I"m not even tempted to
try. Much as I like a challenge, there are some frustrations I don't
need :-)
