first of all: i was amazed to see how many LMH'ers have visited my website, since i announced it here! my stats counter is almost 'all yours'... which is so nice, like feeling part of a worldwide family...
now my question.
my youngest son built the website, using wordpress, as he was familiair with it, making his own website. his is meant for the 'dutch market', he's an independent media professional, and a jolly good photographer. (mainly newspaper press and recently radio).
i asked him is it possible to make an english version of my website...
the answer was: i don't even know if that can be done, with wordpress.
to make it even more complicated: i also 'own' two other B&B-addresses, but they still are 'sleepers' but could be activated.
i am totally NOT familiair with this...
i can write a text in english, photos are available, i DID have quite a few guests from abroad even before my own website was activated, but most of them came to me through their dutch relatives or friends, and i'd like to open that market for myself. i'm fluent in english, german is no problem, i'm picking up my rusty school french more and more, since the other son married into a french family.
anyone...??? any suggestion would be appreciated.
anyone here familiair with wordpress...?

Not sure what the question is to be honest, but it should certainly be possible to do a version of your website in English on Wordpress. I have one in French and one in English. They have different addresses - English one is normandierentals; French one is manche-locations, both pretty much identical in terms of pics etc just different text.
I used a LMH member - Martin Jarvis - reasonable cost; really helpful etc. He will answer your questions for you I'm sure. PM me if you want his details.

We have www.lescrouquets.net for our English site which has a French flag clicking to the French site www.lescrouquets.fr
This has a UK flag clicking to the English site. Both built by Blue Voda not Wordpress but I suspect you could use this technique with virtually any programme.
Both sites are identical ( more or less ) except the text in different languages.
