Exploring my ePortfolio Options

As I have stated in earlier posts, my online presence was almost nonexistent prior to beginning the DLL program at Lamar University. Consequently, I knew very little about website design or even the options available to me for creating my ePortfolio. I first looked at Google Sites. I was familiar with Google Apps, and I thought that I would find it the easiest to use. Weebly and Wix were possibilities. All three platforms had features that I liked. In the end I chose WordPress because it was recommended by professors and some of my colleagues. In the beginning, I struggled because using the tools that WordPress offers seemed counter-intuitive. There was definitely a learning curve involved, and I still have much to learn. However, now that I have been working with WordPress for a few months, I believed that it was the correct choice for my ePortfolio platform.
