Another Church Web Site in Wordpress

Check it out: » Welcome! Providence Church, Temecula, CA: Preaching Christ and Him Crucified in the Temecula Valley

I'm very happy with the outcome.

Wordpress is such a great platform for Church Web Sites.

That looks top notch!!! Thanks. We are looking to start a website for my ARP church. I'll let my Pastor know.

How much "tech" do you have to know to set a website up like that on Wordpress?

To run a wordpress site, you need relatively little knowledge. It is much easier to navigate than Blogger.

is anyone else having problems downloading images on wordpress at the minute?

Setting it up initially is a bit of a challenge without any help. My goal is to develop a detailed "How To" in order to simplify some of the decisions with respect to Plugins, Themes, Permalinks, etc.

I run our site through a self-hosted (dreamhost) wordpress install. It is not all that hard to podcast. It is relatively easy to run and administer. Love me some wordpress!

Yes, my wife has been having trouble off and on over a number of days. She has been in contact with WP and they tell her it must be a problem somewhere else. But on the WP forums, many people are saying the same thing.
