Help me decide!

Last week, I posted a poll on my Facebook page asking if you would like me to write a step-by-step blog showing how to create a website for a fictitious organization using WordPress.
So, I’m planning to write it, but I need your help. I’ve got five choices of fictitious organizations for you to pick from:

  • Coffee House
  • Church
  • Gift Retailer
  • Local News Organization
  • Job Seeker Portfolio
Eventually, I’d like to cover all five, but I’d like your pick for which one to start with. You can leave your comments below or visit my Facebook page to answer a poll.
