Anyone here use word press? I just created a page (www.williamdraven.wordpress.com) to post my review blogs on and I'm still not comfortable with all the features. I'm looking for tips, pointers, or advice.
WordPress Anyone?

It lacks your character. You have a memorable character that you can utilize. The banner should be your picture, and a caption that screams you. Right now it appears to be a stock photo. The colors should reflect you. Right now it is really plain. You have a lot to work with, and I hear word press is very versatile.
I would recommend getting a domain name - Godaddy.com is selling www.williamdraven.com for $11.05 a month. Cheap like borscht.

Actually I have www.williamdraven.co.cc which will be a .com by the end of the summer.
The problem I'm having right now is that I have no way of tracking my reviews. I'm publishing them blindly. I want to be able to track the numbers better, and wordpress looks like it can do that.
That aside, I am still in the process of customizing the wordpress site to fit me better.

I actually downloaded the open source Wordpress software and installed it on .. um... three of my domains. (Plus two subdomains on my main domain -- five installations.)
If you want the hard numbers then I would see about adding Google Analytics to your site. It's a pretty good and free way to track your visitors.
It also keeps track of things like your visitors screen resolutions, how many colors they can show, what browser/os they used to view your site. None of it personally identifiable - just a count of how many hits/visitors used a certain setup. I know that's not what you want, but it's also an indicator of just how many of those hard numbers will be available to you.

Can you use widgets on your site? Statcounter is a fantastic free way to monitor traffic as well.
