I've never been a fan of WP. My daughter has created a couple good websites with it. She's just a dance mom, not a website developer. Studio Fusion is one example. Simple and effective. I recommend Weebly drop and drag website developer (I use it on my website hosted on iPage). I used to be in the website biz using far more sophisticated tools, but now go simple for my retirement hobby

Thank's for posting CPT Durish. I use Bootstrap for the programming language but there are several utilities that I've purchase for piecing together proper secure sites. I work with 3 different programmers through GitHub and we have been doing this for about 12 years. Kind of a retirement business for me. I got tired of seeing people get ripped off by un·scru·pu·lous website companies.

I wish we could go back to FrontPage or earlier. WP has had me worried. It is so much more restrictive than FP. The dumbing down and standardization of webpages. Standardization makes more targets with won attack. Our election machines are bought by counties and are safer because you can not use ONE hack to get them all. They are not nationwide connected. They are not event the same type of machines. That is great in my mind.

Don't get me started on the George Soros Election Machine Companies...
I do think it was pretty funny that just a few years ago NSA sent in Under Cover Feds to see who they could get something on to arrest at events like Def Con and then back in Def Con 22 I think it was the Key Note Speach was given by the then incumbent Director of the NSA who told everybody THEY WERE HIRING! Pretty funny Stuff.

BTW I used FrontPage for many Years after it's demise. I had so many plugins and knowledge invested I just hated to move on. But, move on I did and I was glad for it. Saved myself a ton of manual work in the long run.
