The shared hosting provider I use allows you to install WP via a few clicks. This shouldn't be hard to do yourself. As for the content, the WP import function looks handy - all you have to do is generate input files in WP export format for it.

HTML Page generation, SEO?

I want to quickly knock up some simple, static pages to create sites quickly for the following reasons:

1) play around with SEO techniques
2) knock up some free sites for local companies, mates etc. to create a portfolio

I don't want to spend a long time on this as it won't generate much (if any) income.

I was thinking 2 ways:

1) get a bunch of free HTML/CSS templates and just create pages as needed then update links
2) use some sort of lightweight content management system - but these are usually over-bloated for what I need
3) go down the Wordpress blog route

For the SEO stuff I would like to just create a page worth of new content that I can drop into a page, upload then move on - presumably the Wordpress route would be best here?

I know this won't make me much money (if any) but I have to diversify as much as possible and do something useful with my time off. And I have many other projects.
