The Foundation of Online Success Framework: Blog and Website Setup

WordPress is open source software meaning that, upon installation of the system, you have access to the entire codebase of the WordPress, including core files. For the vast majority of users, this is of limited use and interest unless you just like reading PHP code. However, what is of interest is the ease and reliability with which you can create professional websites and blogs using WordPress.

The core functionality of WordPress can easily be modified and extended through the use of WordPress plugins. Plugins allow you to: -
