What can I do with a wordpress.com site?
What a week. I have done a lot of work on Ondernemersadviesboek together with a good friend from Creative-Design. Thanks Johan, you are an awesome webmagician. The work put into that website is mainly content building. All the behind-the-scenes-webstuff still has to be done. However this post is all about the possibilities and features in wordpress.com and what I promised myself to do is make a plan and look at a number of subjects to help me get started online. Since I am focussing on making this work with free available tools like wordpress.com, I put the research on wordpress on my list of things to look at.
I found a number of usefull links to help me learn how to use wordpress.com easily and quickly. It is amazing to find this much information online, people helping out for new online wannabe affiliates like me. I have been actively working online, but uptill now without any success worth mentioning. Making money online is hard when you do not know what you are doing. To make this effort work I need to get back to the beginning, start from scratch.
I will mention a number of features and discuss them briefly, add a link to the original page for you to follow and reas about it in more detail.
