Lots o’ Themes
Vast array of online detail regarding coding
Helpful programmers
Open source, not reliant on any big corporation to maintain

Cons:

Many widgets and […]

I am seriously surprised how big media is unwilling to cover, let alone support, Josh Wolf. Josh is an independent journalist/videoblogger who has been to prison once, and is required to report in a couple of days again, as he is unwilling to comply with the court’s order to turn over his personal video […]
