<br>
Not sure I'm in the right place with my questions. If I'm not, please feel free to re-direct me. I have been looking and learning for HOURS on end... but could really use a personal tip from a voice of experience now. Can anyone give me a few suggestions? Is Wordpress.com the right place for me? Can you suggest a theme that will allow me freedom to do the things below? I want to blog (of course, MY way :). I don't need to advertise as I will soon have be cooperating with others on a separate website for sales, so was planning to use the Wordpress.com option.<br>
<br>
I want to be able to do the following things:<br>
<br>
-have up to 7 pages<br>
<br>
-I want to post slide presentations which I have created. These slide presentations may contain audio, photo or video, and text. Will I be able to move those from my computer to my blog - or will they need to go to YouTube first and then be embedded? I have seen slideshare etc. in the Wordpress instructions- that format is much simpler than I need. If I do much of that, will I need to pay for a space upgrade?<br>
<br>
-I want to have audio files easily accessible to visitors. I want to be able to regularly and easily change those. Can they go anywhere in my content?<br>
<br>
-I want to create my own "buttons" (widgets?) and load them on to my template.<br>
<br>
-I want a clean template that I can use my own banner design on- customize my background, change my column width, and use lots of pictures of different sizes. I do not know code or html.<br>
<br>
-Can music run continually while my blog is open (with an optional way for my visitors to "turn off" the music)?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks so much for any help or insight you might offer,<br>
Catherine<br>
