but who does not always feel compelled to know Why, then you may have hired an expert to assist you in putting up your web site or blog.&#160; I have.&#160; Even though I&#8217;m sure it is not by any means beyond me to accomplish some of the day-to-day maintenance of my web sites and blog, I don&#8217;t want to.&#160; It doesn&#8217;t interest me, the frustration factor due to potential inaccessibility isn&#8217;t worth the effort.&#160; We cannot all be good at everything, and I&#8217;m especially good at knowing what I&#8217;m not good at.&#160; Knowing one&#8217;s limitations is very freeing.<\/p>\n<p>&#160; <\/p>\n<p>One of the resources I&#8217;ve mentioned here in the past has been Word Press Help Center.&#160; They helped me to install my blog, as well as to install some of the plug-ins and tools I use.&#160; You can get an accessible theme for Word Press, but the back end, or Word Press dashboard is still fairly problematic when it comes to accessibility.&#160; That has proved to be a disappointment, but that&#8217;s a post for another time.<\/p>\n<p>&#160; <\/p>\n<p>What was a greater disappointment, though, was when I attempted to reach my pro at Word Press Help Center not long ago, only to find that they were shutting down.&#160; They were no longer accepting new jobs, and the entire operation would be offline by February 28th.&#160; So, I began to look around for another WP pro to help me with some upcoming projects.&#160; Once you find someone great, it&#8217;s really depressing to lose them.&#160; I was very sorry to see WP Help Center go.<\/p>\n<p>&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Happily, just today I read that the business has undergone a change of management and will be back online in just a few&#160; weeks.&#160; As a satisfied repeat customer, I can tell you that this was very good news.&#160; Nathan Garza, previously a Word Press expert on staff and all-around good guy, is taking over the business and will reopen on March 14th.&#160; The WP Help Center is a busy outfit, and I suspect that with Nathan&#8217;s help it will continue to be busy.&#160; However, with reasonable pricing and excellent customer service, I think you&#8217;ll be glad you called them if you have a Word Press issue, great or small.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>Here are some links:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alexking.org\/blog\/2011\/02\/28\/wordpress-helpcenter-to-reopen\">Story from Alex King blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alexking.org\/\">AlexKing.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wphelpcenter.com\/\">Word Press Help Center<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p>I always say that sometimes accessibility is achieved through the efforts of people who are willing to assist and accommodate via personal service.&#160;
