Wordpress

Recently I came across Wordpress. I came across it when I was googling about blogging tools and found wordpress plugins and wordpress themes. I thought they were really impressive as thought to give them a try. I created a free blog on wordpress.com. When I had my blog setup, I searched for the feature to add plugins and to add more themes because there were very less themes to select. After some research, I found out that there are two different versions of Wordpress.














The version I tried, wordpress.com is FREE and already hosted. Wordpress.org is a CMS and we have to host it by our self and it is also FREE. Wordpress.org is for advance users. After some days, DiscountASP.net sponsored my user group, Tech.NET and offered us free hosting for user group website. I used that hosting to create a Wordpress.org blog for my user group which is really COOL ;). I suggest you all to give both of these a try.


Have tried wordpress.com and want to try wordpress.org now?
Need online space and a domain for hosting your wordpress.org blog? My user group needs funds. We can provide you with some space on our hosting and also give you a free subdomain on our domain so people will be able to access your blog at http://technetug.com/YourBlog for just $10 per year. Very long URL? get a URL like http://YourBlog.com for just $25 per year. Interested? contact me at mauhib@gmail.com.
Note: Wordpress will be already installed on your blog



Need dedicated hosting?
We can also give you dedicated hosting for just $110 per year and also a FREE domain name like http://YourBlog.com/. You can do whatever with this: Store files, run an eCommerce website or run a blog. If you are interested then contact me at mauhib@gmail.com.
