Welcome to WordPress Beginners Hub

Hello there. A little about myself. Since the last few months, I have been blogging full time. And, here are the roles that I play in my blogging business;

  1. I am a Webmaster, and SEO guy.
  2. I am a System Administrator, Site security professional, and a code programmer.
  3. I am the WordPress MU sys admin as well, and the editor, and the author, and the researcher.
  4. I am the mentor, motivator, idea man, just about everything.
  5. I am also the entrepreneur, the go getter, and think outside of the box pro.
  6. And I am the business owner as well.

So, what the heck am I doing at Hubpages. Well, I don't know yet. But I am sure we will find out in due course of time. But one thing is for sure that I am looking to build a team, to help me with making money online eventually

What will we do with this particular hub though? Well I think I will write a few things to help other new bloggers out there who are using WordPress as a blogging platform and can use some help. The ones who host at the WordPress.com, I can't help them very much. However, the ones who self host, i.e. host their own WordPress install on their own shared or colocated server etc; they are the ones who will benefit the most.

I think I will also like to select a few serious people, who enjoy reading and writing, and want to make a difference here on the internet, and have ideas to write about, but do not want to deal with the WordPress technical stuff, and become partners with them.

And maybe, someday we will have a team of WordPress techies, and bloggers who like to write about a lot of stuff, and we can make a little difference in our little way.

I have a few different sites that I am running and/or experimenting with. One of them is a WordPress MU based. MU stand for multi-users. In simple words, it is just like this very site here at Hubpages. No, doesn't look or act the same. It is simply just the same core.
