As a newbie and blogging noboby I find it a tremendous honour to be associated with the new Wordpress release, but I must point out that I have never played Jazz in my life and it’s Duke Of Wellington not Ellington. Never mind I’m stiil quite chuffed.
I am planning to switch from the blogger platform soon as I can’t get what I want from it. I have researched most packages available and sought advice from forums and posts and from the feedback I’ve had Wordpress came out as the daddy!
Big Duke
