This entire e-book was written just before the WordPress 3.0 was debuted and it was written just as WordPress turned seven years old. More than 28,000 people download WordPress every day, and over 11,4 million sites have active installations, including reputable media and business sites.
About the author
Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a
B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing
and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While
the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational
experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological
digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education
and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press
Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and
interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago
Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
