This month, Christina Nelson of Virtual Office Solutions shares her expertise in WordPress in the Virtual Assistant Forums Chatroom. Nelson will show virtual assistants how to utilize the free WordPress platform to create a high-quality blog or Website.

As small business solopreneurs many Virtual Assistants seek to complement their business development by taking advantage of free marketing resources. However, free doesn't always equal 'quality', especially when it comes to websites. In order to be viewed as a professional service provider, a well-presented business website is crucial. WordPress, an extremely flexible blog and CMS software, gives Virtual Assistants the opportunity to present that professional online persona and leverage the marketing potential of a high-quality business website at no cost. Developing a website in WordPress gives a website owner the freedom to control the look of their site, as well as make basic updates, without the assistance of a costly programmer.

Dubbed one of Virtual Assistant Forums' "resident WordPress gurus", community member Christina Nelson generously shares her expertise and knowledge in all things WordPress by answering other members' questions...
