This podcast is brought to you by
WordPress, my go-to platform for 24/7-supported,
zero downtime blogging, writing online, creating websites —
everything! I love it to bits, and the lead developer, Matt
Mullenweg, has appeared on this podcast many times.
Whether for personal use or business, you're in good company with
WordPress, which is used by The New Yorker,
Jay Z, Beyoncé, FiveThirtyEight, TechCrunch, TED, CNN, and Time,
just to name a few. A source at Google told me that
WordPress offers "the best out-of-the-box SEO
imaginable," which is probably why it runs nearly 30% of the
Internet. Go to
