WordPress is a popular, well documented Content Management System. Today we’ll review 20 resources to get you started with WordPress.
“WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.
More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software - not fight it.”
Though it was originally intended to be primarly for blogging, it can be used for other things too - like creating porfolios, galleries and etc.

Yes, it’s a really nice tutorial for beginners however, there is an error in the article.
The link for Build A Dynamic Design Portfolio with Wordpress actually leads to the tutorial above it, Mastering Your WordPress Theme Hacks and Techniques.

Hi there. I have a wordpress blog, and i am currently having problem in it. Is there anyone who has a kind heart here? Please help me. My problem is with regards to the my archives. When i click it in my sidebar, it doesn’t load my archives page. Instead, it just reloads my main page.
Please anyone. Help me.

I’ve been using WordPress for years (since v2) and have usually bastardised existing themes. While I have created one theme from scratch I shall refer to some of these great links in the future.
Thanks
