Which Web Site To Use?

I have had a few websites/blogs in the past few years.  I have used iSchool, blogger, and Wordpress.  My blogs/websites have been both personal and work-related.  I did not like my experience with iSchool at all.  I did not find it to be user friendly and putting content on my site was difficult and time consuming.  The site I have the most experience with is Wordpress, making it one of my frontrunners for my class website.  Up until I began this course I hadn't heard of or used Weebly, but after creating my "About Me" website using it I have found it to be very intuitive.  While I have the most experience with Wordpress I have to say that sizing photographs and including audio and video in posts can be a pain.  My rough wireframe includes navigation tabs at the top of each page, which is something is Weebly makes easy.  I also like that Weebly is specifically made for creating webpages while Wordpress is geared toward blogging.  For what I want to do on my class' webpage Weebly seems like the right fit.  Of course, once I get going on the actual creation of the page we will see if I'm still excited to use this webpage creation site.  But for right now I plan on using Weebly for Mrs. Dargle's Class webpage (don't click on the link just yet...the site has not been published!)
