Posted on 30 October 2009

Makeuseof.com has a great article that displays some of the latest and greatest tutorials about WordPress.  If you don’t know what WordPress is, it is basically only the best blogging platform out on the Interwebs.  If you are a blogger and are not using a self-hosted WordPress blog, you are seriously missing out.  There is so much packed into this absolutely free piece of blogging software, it is crazy!

  1. Dean, you're right about self-hosted WordPress. If I had to do it over again, I would have used a premium theme, with an active support forum, right from the beginning. This is invaluable when WP releases a new version. The free themes may or may not keep up with the changes. Thanks!

  2. Dean Soto says:

    That's a GREAT point. There have been numerous times in which I updated my version of WordPress and it broke the theme that I was using. This is true even if you have one that's been customized for you by a pro. But premium WP themes typically have active support so you don't have to worry about all that. Wow, good point!
