Affiliate Disclaimer

Affiliate Disclaimer

In an effort to be completely transparent, I want to let you know that I have an affiliate relationship with some of the companies whose products or services I recommend.

This means that, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission or credit if you decide to buy any of their products or services.

This is one of the ways I pay for maintaining this site. Just to be safe, you can assume that any link that you click while on my site or using any of the products is an affiliate link and I will earn compensation as a result.

I urge you to not spend any money on any of these products or services unless you really need or can afford them.

WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. WordPress was used by more than 22.0% of the top 10 million websites as of August 2013. WordPress is the most popular blogging system in use on the Web, at more than 60 million websites.

A content management system (CMS) is a computer application that allows publishing, editing and modifying content, organizing, deleting as well as maintenance from a central interface. Such systems of content management provide procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual steps or an automated cascade. CMSs have been available since the late 1990s.

CMSs are often used to run websites containing blogs, news, and shopping. Many corporate and marketing websites use CMSs. CMSs typically aim to avoid the need for hand coding, but may support it for specific elements or entire pages.
