WordPress is an extraordinarily popular platform for running websites. A full 28% of the web is built with WordPress<\/a>, meaning each time you click on a new website there\u2019s more than a one in four chance that its owners use WordPress to manage it.<\/p>\n WordPress appeals to so many people and businesses because it\u2019s free, easy to use<\/a>, and flexible.<\/p>\n As intuitive as it is, for anyone using it, it\u2019s useful to have more information on the possibilities available on the platform and the resources out there you can take advantage of.<\/p>\n For that reason, a number of WordPress blogs have risen to prominence that all provide a wealth of useful information on how to get the most out of the popular platform. Here are a few of the best ones to follow.<\/p>\n The most obvious place WordPress users should turn to for more information on using the website is the platform\u2019s own blog. The WordPress.org blog announces updates to the platform and related gatherings and events. To stay on top of notable changes to the technology your website depends on, this is an important blog to keep your eye on.<\/p>\n Elegant Themes provides themes and plug-ins to WordPress users, so it makes sense that their blog focuses on topics relevant to the site.
