Hi – I embedded this infographic on my site, then someone contacted me asking me to change the link to wptemplate .com – is this for real?

Hi Robert,

First thank you for your comment and embedding our infographic! Regarding the link change; certainly not, we don’t have any affiliation with WPTemplate, seems this is another new scam trick trying to profit from others work – thank you for the heads up, very appreciated!

A little surprised those tech blogs are not running their own installs of WordPress. It’s the way forward to a robust, generative web!

OMG I can’t even write WordPress the wrong way, and I ‘ve made a typo. 🙂 What I meant: Don’t use WordPress, but use WordPress. If I’m correct, just the title has the wrong spelling.
