 WordPress? Do you find it easy? Is it free?

What is WordPress?

WordPress is the world’s most popular site builder. It powers more than 33% of all websites on the internet, that’s millions of websites all over the world.

It’s important that you don’t confuse the Blog Tool, Publishing Platform, and CMS - WordPress content management system (CMS) with the WordPress.com blog hosting service.

Our WordPress review is for the popular self-hosted WordPress software that everyone loves and use (not the WordPress.com: Create a Free Website or Blog hosting service). We recommend Blog Tool, Publishing Platform, and CMS - WordPress because it gives you full access to all WordPress features out of the box. For more details, see our side by side comparison of WordPress.com vs WordPress.org.

From now onwards, when we say WordPress, we are talking about the free Blog Tool, Publishing Platform, and CMS - WordPress software.

WordPress started as a simple blogging platform back in 2003. Since then it has evolved to become a content management system and an application development framework. In simple words, you can easily build any type of website using WordPress. To see how WordPress changed over the years, please see our article on the evolution of WordPress user interface.

WordPress is an open source software which means it is free for everyone and anyone can download and install it. Now you may be thinking, why is WordPress free? What’s the catch?

It is free as an in freedom. You can use it for any purpose, and no one can suspend your website due to censorship or a terms of service violation. You also have the freedom to customize WordPress to your needs without any restriction.

But like all websites, you will need to register a domain name and web hosting.

Based on your needs, you may have to purchase premium WordPress themes or extensions that will have additional costs. For a complete cost breakdown, see our article on the real cost of making a WordPress site.

That being said, now let’s take a look at what you can do with WordPress and how does it actually work.

2. What Kind of Websites You Can Make With WordPress?

WordPress is extremely flexible which is the main reason why it is a popular choice to build a website. You can use WordPress to build almost any kind of website imaginable!

You can use it to start a blog, make a small business website, create an online store, build a membership site, sell online courses, run a marketplace, and more.

No matter what kind of website you want to build, chances are that there is probably an existing WordPress plugin (extension) for that. In case, you don’t find a plugin, you can easily hire from thousands of developer to make it for you.

Here’s a list of the most popular types of websites people are making with WordPress.

3. How Does WordPress Really Work?

Unlike other website builders, WordPress keeps design, content, and functionality separated from each other. This allows for data portability.

In other words, you can add content regardless of the design you are using, modify the design without changing your content, and add new features without affecting the other areas.

Let’s dig deeper into that.

1. Adding Content in WordPress

WordPress stores content in a database and media files like images in a separate folder. Mainly you will be adding content to your website using the post editor.

Post editor is a simple WYSIWYG editor with some basic formatting features. It comes in two forms.

First, you have the Visual editor, which is a WYSIWYG style editor, and then you have the Text editor which is a plain text editor where you can add formatting by writing HTML in your content.

By default, WordPress content editor does not have any fancy drag and drop features to customize your content design as you write it. However you can use one of the popular WordPress drag and drop page builders should you need it.

2. Managing Design and Appearance in WordPress

WordPress uses a powerful templating engine to manage the appearance of a website. This templating engine allows developers to create a set of templates called ‘Themes‘. There are thousands of pre-made WordPress themes available in the market.

Each WordPress theme comes with a stylesheet and basic template files to display different sections of a typical WordPress website.

Depending on which theme you are using, it will come with its own settings which you can use to customize the appearance of your website. Some themes may have a lot more theme customization options than others.

There are thousands of free and paid WordPress themes available that you can use to build a website. These themes allow you to use your own colors, layout combinations, and logos.

You can also hire someone to create a custom WordPress theme from scratch, but it would cost significantly higher than using a free or premium WordPress theme.

Alternatively, you can use a drag and drop page builder like BeaverBuilder or Divi to create a custom theme without hiring a developer.

A Theory About The Bible

 

For those who are atheists, what are your thoughts on God, Jesus, Heaven, The Bible, the prophecies and everything else, what causes you to not believe and what reasons can you give that it is all made up?

My opinion is that in history people struggled for answers to explain why things that happened around them occurred. It's been a driving force in humans throughout time. Unfortunately, they did not have the technology we have today to really determine things like storms and why plants grow, etc.

So in the same way many cultures have handled this, they made up stories to explain these things. Fear was a constant in the lives of the people from much of our history. These stories have been mainly crafted to bring out fear in order to keep others from doing things they perceived as dangerous.

It was actually a king who first realized the power of the Bible and how he could make it work for him. And just like Aesop's fables are used to teach lessons to children, the Bible was seen as a tool to control the peasants. It has been effectively used since.

It hasn't been until our technology was sophisticated enough to explain away many of the things the Bible had explained. Over time as we have become smarter we have lost the need for fables in order to teach us moral behaviors.

In fact, now that we truly think for ourselves the attendance at churches is steadily declining. We will eventually reach a point that our need for these Bible stories to scare people into not sinning will no longer be useful at all.

Even the people from the past realized it was something for the poor and feeble minded. But it was an effective tool to sway the people and keep them inline.

It is still very effective in allowing those who run the churches to basically scam the poor and fearful to give money to them. It has over time been shown to be effective in talking a particular segment of the rich. By playing on their fears of not being a good person and not being allowed int

o heaven they attempt to buy their way in. The church is all too happy to forgive them anything in exchange for the donation.

To further my point the idea of hell is practically a modern addition to the bible. It was only added to the teaching after a book titled Dante's inferno.

And Just like at other collections of stories it has been added to and parts are taken away over time. Now add in the whole practice of studying the bible to determine the translation. Many churches try to explain what the bible means. Which to me is a black and white issue. Either it's the word of God and should be taken exactly as written, or just a guide of suggestions from our history. I find it amusing when it fluctuates between the two in order to fit the church's desire.

Of course, I have no proof. Just like someone who is a believer has no proof. To me, it comes down to common sense.

Now I'm sure my opinion is not going to be a popular one. I want to clarify I'm answering the question. I don't discuss religion normally and I respect the right of those to believe without harassment. So in no way am I trying to be rude. I'm simply explaining my personal thought on the subject.

Rules Of Ghosting

If a guy is ghosting me, why is he still my friend on Facebook? He hasn't deleted me from Snapchat.

Just because he is choosing to not engage in a chat doesn't mean there is a manual for ghosting that requires him to then block you.

He probably has no hard feelings toward you. Most likely he just has no feelings at all toward you. The reality is people start and stop talking to each other via social media quite frequently.

People tend to turn to these apps when they are bored or lonely. Once that has passed so does their intrest in continuing the chat.

The other reality is guys routinally message dozens of girls in hope one will respond. It's highly likely that he is talking to someone else right now.

The social rules of interactions has been thrown out the window.

Contemplation Of Others Motivations

Three weeks after his initial text, which I did not respond to, my ex texted me again with the weak message "Hey" I don't understand. Why is he reaching out again?

He is reaching out for all the reasons you should be able to clearly see.

He is lonely, bored, drunk, or any combination of. Basically he reached out because he feels he can. He may be missing you. But more likely just missing the space you filled in his day.

He also has some idea that you will answer or react in some way to his message. Which you are. Wasting your time trying to figure out what someone else is thinking.

Signs that the relationship wasnt good before and doesn't have much of a chance now..

You don't feel like you can just simply ask him why he messaged. If you can't do that I don't see much reason to waste any more time in thinking about a message that he clearly put no time into creating.

My advice is to forget about the message.

Will I run Out Of Ideas To Write About As A Blogger?

How possible is it to keep posting content on a self-niche page without exhausting every possible idea?

The way this reads to me, your asking about self-niche. Which I assume your writing personal stories about your life.

I fall into this group myself. I write about experiences I have had in my life. To me this concept is virtually endless. I have a ton of stories at my age to write about. But on a broader scale, I have perspectives on an endless amount of subjects. I write about whatever I want to each day.

In order to market that I make it easier for readers by using catagories to sort my posts. Even adding one topic as its own page on my website to promote easier and to allow access for those interested to land directly on that page.

Another example is a series I have going I write and publish through another website and use that rss feed to tie it to my larger blog. Again keeping things organized for readers so they land were they need to be.

Really your only limited by your own imagination and creativity when incorporating the things you want to write about.

If you run out of things to write about in my opinion you just don't want to write any more.

Social Media Mistakes

Sent some photos to a guy on snap. Now he is blackmailing me for more photos or he will share everything. What should I do?

Don't send more photos. Block him and report him.

Accept that once you send content including pictures stories opinions out into the world they will be spread.

There are so many pictures out there shared because a woman made the mistake of sending them. You will be in good company and not alone.

Learn from this situation so that next time you consider doing something like this you remember how it feels.

Don't be so easily influenced by others on a social media app. Never have I ever heard of a woman who met a guy on snaps that wanted a picture that anything positive came of it.

The Benefits Of A Double Opt-In Email Collection Service

What exactly is a double opt-in email list?

Double opt-in is referring to the process required to subscribe.

The reader has to first click the link initiating the subscription. A notice will appear alerting them the an email had been sent to the email requested.

In the subscribers email will be the second step. The email will contain a link and a prompt to click the link to finish the activation of their subscription.

This process stops for example someone signing up someone else without their permission. The thought process being it reduces the chance that you send to emails that have not opted in or that are typed in.

It helps you keep your returned email count down which can be important in avoiding any chance as being labeled a spammer.

Only Fans Tips For Success

What is wrong with my OnlyFans profile?

https://onlyfans.com/sophiamackenziee

I would suggest you change you profile icon. And your picture for the background. I suggest something clear and we'll focused. If you do not want to show your face it's understandable but understand it will affect your ability to interest potential subscribers.

A picture of your face in your icon would go a long way. It can be tasteful no nudity needed there.

The amount of content listed is low. Many subscribers are looking for someone who posts often and consistently. As a sample you can offer a sampling of photos for a set price. For example 6 photos not seen any where else for a one time payment of 19.99. The specifics of course depend on your preference.

You are not taking advantage of the ability to post free content. Posting a few pictures a month for public view will go a long way. Of course they should not be graphic. But it gives the potential subscriber an idea of what they will be getting. So preferably some pictures showing whatever personality you are promoting.

Extra tip start networking with other girls. Do a collab or promote for them if they promote for you. Trading a set of pictures for each of you to add to your site can be the bonus that intrigues a subscriber to choose your account over someone else's.

Define a niche. Do you specialize in foot or domination? Your site doesn't have to be only one topic but highlighting one can help. You can even switch every month setting the content into catagories.

Good job highlighting that you do communicate with subscription and allow requests.

And good job thinking outside of the box and getting some views here by asking a question and posting your link. Just keep doing that in any forum you can find that allows it.
