While WordPress is, at its heart, a user-generated content platform, you are that user. (And maybe your team, if you have one.) With a wiki, that can expand to your audience becoming that user, which opens up a lot of possibilities for your brand and content. If you create a wiki, I’m sure you’ll find lots of benefits and uses, but really, I think these are the major ones. - easy to understand and to update - easy to read and to write - collaborative - oozing with SEO authority - dead simple to navigate and plan content - absolutely amazing for regularly updated documentation - great for tracking living and evolving projects with multiple teams and team members. With WordPress as your base, you’re not limited to wiki software, either. You get the best of both worlds–WP’s robust ecosystem and the simplicity and utility of a wiki. As always, you should use the right tool for the job. That said, there are a few ways to create a wiki using WordPress, but the main two are either by installing a theme or by using a plugin. Imagine that!...

Remember the time when you or a friend wanted to start a blog back in high school?

The best way to make those opinions known to a wider audience was blogs. Everyone wanted to have one!
Thanks to WordPress, everyone got their fair share of blogging. No kidding. WordPress started in 2003 and took blogging to a whole new level of awesomeness. Everyone back in the day was totally flattered by WordPress’ default blog themes and the customization they allowed.

Most are free, and even if they aren’t, they’re cheap (much cheaper than hiring someone in most cases).
There’s one more challenge:
Which plugins does your business need?
The marketplace of WordPress plugins is huge, with tens of thousands plugins available.
To make your life easier, I’ll show you some of the most popular and useful plugins so you can pick the right ones for your site
As one of the most successful premium theme shops in the business, Elegant Themes is best known for its top of the line themes and plugins.

There are number of amazing social sharing WordPress plugins which can use to promote your website. There are also some social media plugins for WordPress which are created to integrate social media functionality in your site other than sharing your posts.
In this article we will try to cover the best social media plugins for WordPress from the lot. When we talk about effective social media integration, it’s not only about placing social sharing buttons in the site but you need to look at many other aspects such as where you are placing the buttons, the quality of the plugin, make sure it is not affecting the overall loading speed of your site and so on.
A common support question that’s been popping up on the web after WordPress users update to 3.9: What happened to the “Paste from Word” button in the visual editor? If you find that the button is missing, don’t worry – it’s not a bug. Prior to this update, the button was located in the kitchen sink of the visual editor:
WordPress 3.9, however, removes the “paste from word” button entirely. It includes TinyMCE 4.0 and has better built-in support for pasting in blocks of text for Microsoft Word. The better your software gets, the more the magic happens behind the scenes. WordPress now detects if the pasted text is coming from MS Word and makes the appropriate changes.
Until I saw the question on Reddit, indicating that the button had gone missing, I had no idea that anyone still used this feature. The missing button is actually an enhancement, not a bug. Hopefully this information has reached you before you started deactivating all your plugins.
WordPress can do nearly anything that can be done within a website. It is used by almost 19 percent of the top 10 million websites, including major brands such as Ben & Jerry, Best Buy, CNN, EBAY, Ford, GE, GM, New York Times, UPS, Wall Street Journal and Yahoo.
