Everyone who is putting themselves out there on-line just want to look their best. I’ve be contributing to wikis at work since 2011, and have watched Confluence evolve over that time. I’m comfortable in that space, knowing what data to present, and how to present it. I know when to break a larger page into separate smaller pages, tagging and linking.
WordPress is a web page editor. Twenty some years ago I played with the WYSIWYG Page Mill from Adobe. Sure it would allow HTML to get bloated if you were not careful, but you didn’t need to know HTML to make a page. I use WordPress so infrequently that I still don’t know how to drive it properly. I’m about to embark on an illustrated web page, and fear I won’t do it justice, not understanding all the tools to hand. Maybe it’s just best to just keep it simple. Wish me luck!
