I am Roberta Leone from northern Italy. Today I would love to share with you my story about how I came to know and love the WordPress platform. But first, let’s get to know about each other.
Over the last 30 years, I have been devoting most of my time as a graphic designer for the publishing industry. Ever since I started working on the first Apple computer, I’ve witnessed the growth and maturation of the early digital publishing in Italy and got the chance to cooperate with the most important publishers here, in both traditional and digital books.
To every WordPress site owner, holding a distinct web design not only leads to success but also helps sustain their solid position among a swarm of online rivals sprouting up every second. Being the best is great but being unique is greater. Instead of staying alike to other websites using a same popular theme, the urge to tailor-make that theme for a unique face put forward to the audience is understandable. Yet editing and customizing a WordPress theme can be quite scary. If not being done properly, you would open yourself up to the risk of vulnerable security or data loss. Continue
Although I’ve been using and working with WordPress for a while now, it still amazes me the type of websites you can build with it, simply by installing a few plugins and picking the right theme.
One such type of website that surprised me with how easily it can be built using WordPress is an auction site. These main features of this type of site include the ability to list items for sale that visitors can bid on with the highest bidder able to purchase the item. However, there are many more features that can be added to such as site as we will find out shortly. Continue

BuddyPress and bbPress are two WordPress plugins that have been created by some of the same individuals who helped develop WordPress and make it what it is today. Both plugins are related in the sense that they can help you build a community around your website, giving you the ability to interact better with your visitors, while also letting them interact with each other.

Hello from New York City!
It’s Alexandra Stafford here. I’m a full-time blogger living in upstate New York. Before devoting most of my time to writing, I used to work at a graphic design company, which specialized in WordPress sites.
I’ve learned a lot about WordPress since then — enough to allow me to make little tweaks and create some WordPress sites for my friends, such as ledgehomes.com and qimsa.org.
While WordPress is a great choice for most people who want to get a website online and have the freedom to publish their own content whenever they like, there are a lot of tasks that need to be taken care of to ensure your website runs smoothly and can survive on its own out in the wild.
With plugin conflicts, theme and software updates, hack attacks, data losses, comment spam floods, and much more to contend with, running a WordPress site isn’t for the feint hearted. This is especially true when the website is used to generate income and promote a business or service. Continue
Digital piracy may be the most irritating thing every site owner has to face when people blatantly take away his/her content without asking permission or giving proper credit. After pouring much efforts in researching and bearing a quality write-up, what most bloggers expect is the amount of credibility, readers and traffic they are going to get; not yelling out something like “hey, it’s MY post!” Continue
Every day it seems more and more users are finding new and inventive ways of using the WordPress software to create something that pushes the boundaries of what can be done with our favourite content publishing platform.
While plugins are one key area where developers are using their skills to meet the needs of end-users and simultaneously expand the functionality of WordPress and the types of sites it can be used to build, another group of developers and entrepreneurs are using the platform for their own ends, in order to deliver their software service applications.

Hi everyone,
My name is Karina Kudryavtseva. I come from one of the most beautiful places on earth called Vancouver Island in Canada.
For now, I am working mainly as a web designer for a design agency. Beside that, I also have several personal projects to tend to. One of them is Inspicafe – an inspiration online cafe for creative professionals, entrepreneurs, freelancers, truth seekers and cat lovers. The site was created using DW Minion – a free WordPress theme for Blog.
Due to WordPress being used to power so many different types of websites, it can be easy to overlook its more humble beginnings as a blogging platform. While WordPress is used increasingly as a CMS these days, with some predicting its eventual move towards being an app platform, for many bloggers it is and will always be their software of choice.
So with that in mind, it’s time to shift our focus away briefly from the eCommerce tools, and app themes that turn your WordPress site into a fully functioning business directories or social networks, and go back to the roots of WordPress with some great plugins targeted at bloggers that aim to help make them more productive, while also making managing their blogs an easier task.

Hello!
My name is Solo Ingz, a professional designer with 8 years of working experience based in England. For me, creating a website is not all about gaining audience and trying to earn a lot of traffic. I feel that every single website is a way we represent ourselves through creativity. That’s why I start off with the project: psdarchive.com.
Apart from designing, I also have great interest in social media, sports and apps. I love creating apps and coding games for smartphones. I tend to visit Starbucks everyday to get myself pumped off for all of my beloved projects.
