WordPress is the software that runs my blog and pretty much every other popular blog on the internet. We all use it, it’s the best. Why would anyone put themselves at a disadvantage and use any other blogging software.
Educating yourself and those who work for you is important. We all know the better our website is, the higher our earnings will be. I have listed 10 websites that I read and get inspiration from to make my blogs better. Let us know in the comments what blogs you read about WordPress and why.
