What is WordPress?

Posted on by

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

The GPL from the Free Software Foundation is the license that the WordPress software is under. The WordPress platform is easily adaptable to all types of websites, from blogs to e-commerce storefronts. Here’s what you need to […]

Yet, so many writers fail to develop an online presence. They don’t want to create a blog or a website, both of which provide them with a way to be easily found on the Internet. Why don’t they […]

Posted on by

Many people ask me how to get a gravatar, or really they ask me this, ” How do I get one of those photos that will show up next to my name on other websites”?
