This above link will take to a very good webpage from Word Press. WordPress started in 2003 and since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tools in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. This also means you are free to use it for anything without paying a license fee. The site begins with a good explanation of what blogs actually are, to a comprehensive guide to blog terminology, layout, add-ons etc… which is easily accessed from the table of content menu down the right hand side of the page where you can jump to a particular section of the page. There are also links to other aspects of webpage/blog design.

The website is well set out with all of the jargon explained so that even a beginner would have no problems understanding the content. I found this site interesting and of considerable help with my studies and have no hesitation in recommending this site to anyone interested in blogging, be that the novice to professional. And the best thing about this page is that it’s FREE!!!!
