Is WordPress taking over the Web?

As you can probably tell, I’ve been playing around with WordPress.  I’ve resisted embracing this technology, preferring to hand code html and CSS in place of wigitized, template-driven programs, but the time has come where too many of my clients have inquired about this trend that I could no longer delay the inevitable.  If you visit here often, you may see the site change at a rapid pace as I try out new templates—I haven’t found one I’m in love with yet, but then again, I’ve only been at it for a day or two.  My first frustration out of the gate is, however, is exactly what I expected: the templates!  More precisely: the limitations of the templates like image sizing and font choices.  I have discovered that some templates give you more freedom over these items and I hope that is the case with whatever theme I end up settling on.  For now, let the games commence!

Update 11/19/14: I’m now using a purchased theme: Deep Focus.  Even so, I’m still playing around with it tweeking it this way and that to get just what I want.  Normally I would not go live with a site at this stage, but the old site was so broken that this incompleted is better than what was up there before.
