WP Builds
Web site building with WordPress. In this podcast we follow the hopeless exploits of Nathan Wrigley as he tries, and fails, to understand WordPress. He knows that he loves building websites with WordPress, but the complexities of this awesome web building solution are always out of reach. Not only is he not clever enough, but he just does not try all that hard.
