Last May I noticed an announcement from a friend of mine that his company, The Theme Foundry, had released a new WordPress theme, called Make. I didn't give it much thought at the time. Most of the sites I build have custom designs, and I usually start with something like Underscores, or no theme at all. Then last fall I decided to switch my own blog to WordPress, and needed a theme, and didn't have a design. I tried out Make, and quickly fell in love.
Before I get too far into this, I'd like to point out that Make has 2 URLs you should check out. The free version of Make is in the WordPress.org theme respository. There's also Make Plus at The Theme Foundry's web site. Make Plus is actually a plugin that greatly extends the Make theme, and costs $99. It adds lots of functionality and comes with support, which is great.

It seems like only a few weeks ago that WordPress 4.0 shipped.
Better WordPress Minify is a plugin that reduces the loading time of your website by compressing the Javascript and CSS code. Much of these files is taken up by empty space and line breaks, and removing those can make your files smaller and faster. To remove these items is to "minify" your files.
One of our absolutely favorite WordPress themes is Make from the Theme Foundry.
With the release of version 3.0, WordPress moved from being a blog platform to being a content management system.
Actions and filters are two of the most useful features of the WordPress Plugin API.
WordPress is often accused of lacking features. But, it's amazing what you can do with the WordPress core and just one or two plugins.

WordPress is famous for being easy to use, but some features can still be confusing.
Every time you load the frontend of your WordPress site makes many, many database calls. WordPress pulls together many different assets and compiles them into webpages.
