Free “Build Your Own WordPress Site” Guide


Click HERE to download Guide

As a WordPress user, I have to admit that I am still not that familiar with the entire workings of WordPress so you can imagine my delight to be able to get my hands on this guide on how to build a WordPress site. It’s undeniable that WordPress is an extremely powerful Content Management System (CMS) so if you are a webmaster who have yet to adopt WordPress, you should take a look at this guide.

The thing about this download, though, is that you will need to sign up for daily updates via email, so make sure that you are signing up with your “spare” email address. LOL Anyway, let me know if you find this guide useful to you.

Quality Free & Easy WordPress Themes

Running a slew of WordPress blogs, I am always on the look out for free WordPress themes. If you know me, you will know that I am quite a fuss pot and want my themes to be “perfect”. Well, they may not be perfect in CSS language after I have modified them to my liking because I do not know CSS but as long as it appears live as I like it, I am happy.

I have been searching for a nice WordPress theme for my personal blog for the past couple of days and to my delight, found this website called EZwpthemes.com. I love all the themes that are in the Art category! I love vectors like these that make the theme informal and artistic. Too many times have I come across stiff and uninspiring themes!

I would love to change my theme right now but I have no idea how to modify these themes to accommodate my 125 X 125px ads that I currently have on my blog. If someone could kindly make that change for me, I would gladly update my blog with one of these free art WordPress themes!

Free Fresh WordPress Themes

A blogger friend asked me if I have a good source for new WordPress themes. Frankly, it has been such a long time since I searched for WordPress themes, I am sure there are so many new ones already, so I wasn’t able to help her much. She has close to fifty blogs so it is going to take her a loooong time to search for free WordPress themes, install and customize them!

Anyway, I had a little free time today, so I decided to help her out and have the luck to come across this website, Free ThemeLayouts, which has three pages full of quality WordPress themes. I am interested in some of them as well but have yet to download any because selecting the best is going to be difficult!

You know, for a themes website, it is pretty disappointing that they do not have their own logo. So I am making do with what I could. Hop over to Free ThemeLayouts now and see what they have to offer, that is, if you do have a WordPress blog!

Free WordPress eCommerce Theme

Some of you may know that I run an eCommerce store. However, lately, I have been felling like I should revamp it but have no idea how to go about it. I saw a blogger who converted her WordPress blog into an ecommerce site but the layout was la WordPress theme that I came across before.

I then went searching for a WordPress eCommerce theme and found this Crafty Cart by The King Cart. Isn’t it cute an informal? I too would like to use something like this right now, it looks like there is only ONE eCommerce WordPress theme. Also, there are not many payment or shipping options that it could support.

Free WordPress Themes For Your Website

A couple of days ago, I set up a WordPress powered website, as suggested by friends who told me that I would be more comfortable with the management and up-keeping of it, compared to a conventional website. The one I did was a charity website for an NGO.

I went searching for a free WordPress theme that would be suitable for a website, and not a blog and found LivingOS. This is a blog run by a Church Minister by the name of Tim Hyde, so he knows what a Church website requires.

I am happy to find that he has two pages of WordPress themes for free use, but a link back at the footer is required, of course. He also accepts donations via PayPal.

If you are looking for a website theme and power with WordPress, this is the place t. Trust me, I’ve been EVERYWHERE!

Free Beautiful WordPress Themes From Jauhari

In my search for beautiful WordPress themes that are clean and neat, I stumbled upon the blog of this Indonesian designer called Jauhari. I have to say that he has a pretty large collection of WordPress themes that would be suitable for any kind of WordPress powered blog. No matter if you have a personal blog, a business or enterprise blog or a magazine style blog, Jauhari has just the right WordPress theme for you.

I have bookmarked his blog and you know, with more than ten WordPress blogs, I expect to use one of his themes someday soon!

The only problem with Jauhari’s blog is that viewing with Internet Explorer, his blocks of ads on his sidebars are all out of alignment. There is no such issue browsing from Firefox, though. This is an issue that I believe, as a WordPress theme designer, he should have it rectified as soon as possible.

Free Premium WordPress Theme

While surfing the internet looking for a free WordPress theme for my new blog, I almost gave up when I decided to key in “free premium wordpress theme” in the search engine. And that led me to discover this free premium theme by R. Bhavesh.

I was very happy at first because I have finally found the perfect theme for my blog. I wanted one that is professional looking and this one certainly is. However, I faced a lot of problems customizing this theme. I know, I am not good at all with CSS but then I don’t know why I kept getting errors.

Another thing is that I could not edit my .php files directly in my Presentation and so I had to download/edit/upload each time I wanted to change details here and there. It was tedious.

And for the functions that are broken and could not be fixed [by me], I just deleted them all. I could live without those without missing them so it is fine. I am now using it on my new iPhone blog and very happy with the end result.
