[...] Again, I approach my talks with the premise of “breaking and remaking” the subject matter. For instance, I love to talk about WordPress as an amazing free program that gives anyone in the world a platform upon which to take their soap box. Either on the free WordPress.com hosted blog service or with the free WordPress self-hosted version, anyone can have their say. [...]

Sometimes you just have to spell out for people. I see a lot of really young kinds using wordpress. Like 7 years old for club penguin sites. They wouldn’t use it unless it was free.

@Andrew

It’s for web marketers who profit from making large numbers of content blogs on different topics - For THOSE people, it’s invaluable.

Good to hear it. Then Huynh or Cooper won’t mind ponying up our very modest license fees. And while we’re at it, Andrew, why don’t we call a splog a splog, hmm?

Oh, I found out about this guy when I was Googling for some of our themes. More theme authors whose themes are bundled with his package should be annoyed than are. He’s got four of our themes bundled with his product for sale. We’ve sent him a C&D letter and his choice is to stop bundling our themes with his paid package or pay us a royalty fee. (Heh, everything has a price, right?) As much as copyright notations are plastered all over that web site surely they appreciate the irony of what they’ve done. Gah. But.. as long as there is someone out there willing to shell out nearly $150 for this stuff..

Please, tell me you are kidding or that you just didn’t read the article?

For the FREE full version of WordPress to run on your paid host server (can’t help you there) go to WordPress.

For the FREE hosted version of WordPress, which has a few limitations but the more than 1.4 million users don’t seem to mind, sign up for a free WordPress blog at WordPress.com.

For the rest, read the article on where to find FREE help and support.

Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking for a link like this one. However, WHERE do you get this FREE WordPress software? Someone told me that you have to BUY it. I’d like to know, because I want to learn how to customize the css in my own blog and learn how to create them for other people. THX.

Very useful article, it’s better to spend time in learning “how to” rather then paying a person to “make it”.

With all due respect, I don’t think you know what you are talking about…

WordPress Elite is not an upgrade of a wordpress software at all… it’s not claiming to be a better version of wordpress or any such thing.

It is a control panel from which you can easily manage the installation and setup of hundreds of WordPress blogs across hundreds of domain names..

It’s not for the every day blogger, in fact such a blogger would definitely not want to pay money for it… it should have been clear from the sales letter that this isn’t what it’s meant for. It’s for web marketers who profit from making large numbers of content blogs on different topics - For THOSE people, it’s invaluable.

WordPress elite is a fantastic piece of software for the purpose it is designed. Check your facts before you make such a vitriolic post on your blog.
