WordPress 101: Why Choose WordPress
Wordpress is quite known by now. If you don’t know what Wordpress is it is powering this blog! It is a content management system that was first released in 2003 and makes it extremely easy for anyone to start a website, manage content and more. Many of my previous websites were made using flat file systems or were hand-coded and that just takes a lot of time! Now every one of my websites are based off of Wordpress! So why should you use Wordpress? Here are a few reasons…

How Having an E-mail Newsletter Has Helped My Blogging
Lately though, I’ve been keeping up with it pretty well. One of the main reasons for this is because I have started an e-mail newsletter.

When I’m in Vegas I typically try restaurants that I haven’t been to before, but I always seem to make a trip back to Beijing Noodle No. 9 at Caesars.

So Beijing Noodle No. 9 is usually on the list of restaurants I want to eat at each year.
