Accelerate Your WordPress Website Performance With These Tools

The website performance is equally important with the graphics, the content and the way people interact with it. You don’t want a slow website, neither your visitors.

Show Your Reliability With Weekly Returning Offerings

Lorelle VanFossen is great. If you’re the least interested in the WordPress community you know this. She’s got a great blog, she is a great interview subject, and she does a great job giving us the weekly WordPress recap over at The Blog Herald. The latest one went online yesterday.

Something to think about for your blog, surely.

Time to install 35 WordPress blogs! Even if that 5 minute install was all that was needed, it would be around 3 hours of work, and that’s not counting setting up your databases, uploading WordPress files, and so on.
