Introduction


Here at Mywebcare, one of our most popular frameworks we use to build a client website is Wordpress.


We do this since it is a very popular, well supported, open source script that enables content management for both us (as site managers) and end user clients where they may wish to post regularly to their website. Doing this will keep their site fresh and attract new visitors and better search engine results.


The original guide can be downloaded in PDF format directly from the bottom of this page so that it can be printed and read offline. The contents of the guide are published below.
