I was the resource speaker during the Free WordPress Seminar held last April 16, 2011 at Young Einstein Learning Center, Emerald Square Condo, Project 4, QC. I talked about WordPress Basics, Tips & Tricks, Useful Plugins and showed some Real World WordPress sites to some students and teachers of YELC.

What is the difference between wordpress.org and wordpress.com? This is one of the most common questions about wordpress users and most of the time new users are confused which to use since they go to wordpress.com even if they want a self-hosted wordpress blog.
WordPress Free Blogging Software can be downloaded in wordpress.org, you can also find resources for wordpress software, themes and plugins in this site. Although you can download the software for free, you need a reliable web host for your wordpress blogging software, which may cost high specially if you have high traffic.
With wordpress.com, it’s the same WordPress Free Blogging Software but with few limitation like you cannot install your own theme or plugin, but you can choose from those who are already pre-installed. You do not need to setup the software or look for a web host, just signup on wordpress.com for free and you have your own wordpress blog.

Shayla (shaylasanchez.com)Worpress was like an online forest I would usually get lost in and working on my website usually left me feeling helpless. I didn’t know where to go, what to do or how to start. I’m no expert yet but Mike really helped me figure things out and make things a lot easier for me. And what’s great about him is he didn’t just fix my web problems for me, he’d teach me how to do it so i can figure them out on my own as well. It does make a lot of sense too if you got your own web host, there’s just so much more you could do with your blog that’ll show your personality more. I love my current website, all thanks to Mike!
Jaja (jajasamaniego.com)Mike in our first meeting fixed almost 90% of my blog problems.. If you’re scared with html and css like me, Mike is the man for the job. Can’t wait to learn more in our next sessions
