Bonjour from Paris !
Just discovered your blog and been through it. Cool information sources and I will survey the coupon discount part!
Keep on the cool work and thanks for your dedication in our beloved platform … WP !
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!
Its true that WordPress is on a high! It offers literally thousands of different design templates ad allows you to seamlessly and automatically integrate your social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even LinkedIn.
Its quite obvious and this was inevitable..The vast features, designs and ease of use definitely and deservedly makes WordPress the King of web!
I loved this article Renee.. Very attractive and well written.. The WordPress facts you presented r astonishing! Thanks for sharing this:-)
thank you for your kind words 🙂
Nice inforgraphic. Can you please make sure you write WordPress instead of WordPress? If you have changed this, I will share this. Thanks!
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.
you’re completely right, and it’s corrected. Thanks for the heads up! 🙂
