    Hi everyone, my name is Campbell, getting on in years now and have been blogging for a hobby on and off since around 2009.
    But I would like to move up a few gears and just need some advice on what theme's are best to use, plug ins and widgets as I know things have moved on a lot since I was first shown how to blog.
    My main objective is to build leads from like minded people who want to take charge of their lives, health and lifestyles as they get into their 40's and 50's.

    Campbell -- Using StudioPress themes is a great start. In terms of plugins and widgets, there are no "best", as it depends entirely on what you want to do.

    One great way to enhance your skills is to join a local Meetup and get to know more people in your area that use WordPress. Assuming you're still in Cadiz, this one looks pretty solid and they meet next Friday:

    Good luck!

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply I'm no longer in Cadiz, back in the Scottish Borders. I do have a meetup account and will have a look.
