10 years. That's about how long I've been working with Wordpress sites. It's grown from a simple blogging platform, so a fully fledged content management system that most use for their website needs, regardless of how they use it. If you're reading this, chances are you're currently researching Wordpress hosting. Let me make it very simple for you. Stop.

Anatomy Of A Blog Redesign: Meet The Standard WordPress Theme
First we must understand Siteground vs Inmotion, both web hosts provide great services and have tons of positive customer ratings, but they differ between them, however, both are great. I have to admit, I'm a Wordpress theme junkie. I'm fascinated with the art of blog design, and I often find myself spending too much time browsing some of the industry leading Wordpress theme sites. My personal favorite site these days is certainly Themeforest as they have a tremendous variety of themes ...

A high-quality website will ...
What I’ve Learned About Blogging Based On A Year’s Worth Of Data
I didn't really get serious about blogging until the past year, and even then, I haven't written as much as I would like. Like many bloggers, I've gone in and out of writing, and that doesn't help with maintaining a consistent flow of traffic to your blog. At the end of the day, driving eyeballs to my blog isn't really the ultimate goal, writing useful and appreciated content is. But I like anyone loves to see people visit. So I decided to dive deep into the analytics of ...
5 Steps To A Professional Grade Blog On A Budget
While there are quite a few “free” options when it comes to starting a blog, sometimes you want a little more then what they can offer, especially if you are wanting to get serious about building a professional grade blog. The great news is that these days, even a great looking, unique blog doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. Wordpress has changed the game and opened up the door giving the potential for anyone to create and publish great content and possibly earn a few bucks in the ...
