Hostgator is running a special this month until April 1st. Use the coupon code “LUCKY” to get 20% off the first month’s hosting fees.

I have always been happy with their uptime, support and pricing. If you’re looking for a reliable webhost, I suggest giving them a try. They also have a blog with some interesting posts.

If you’re just starting out with WordPress, my friend Caroline Middlebrook has written up a guide to help you out. The focus of the guide is on using WP as a means to develop niche sites.

Here is a preview of the table of contents:

• Chapter 1: Getting and Installing WordPress
• Chapter 2: Basic WordPress Administration
• Chapter 3: Installing a New Theme
• Chapter 4: Setting up Adsense On Your Site
• Chapter 5: WordPress Plugins
• Chapter 6: Creating Your Site Content
• Chapter 7: Final Thoughts
• Appendix 1: Uploading Using FTP
• Appendix 2: External Resources

As you might already know, I’m a big fan of using WordPress for blog management. This blog uses WP as well along with a ton of plugins.

Check out the guide. It’s completely free. You don’t even have to give your email address.

By the way, if you need a good webhosting company to host your blog, I highly recommend Hostgator. I’ve been using them for the past few years and their uptime and support are top-notch. They are currently running a Valentine’s Day special where you get 20% off using the coupon code: HEART (expires March 1st).
