THIS Website! Do you like Adventure Stories.info and want to know where to get information about building something like it?

• Wordpress: the software that powers this website.  Wordpress is awesome!  Two Wordpress flavors, the .com version (free,  like Blogger) and the .org version, also free but you must provide your own web hosting and get more technical (tradeoff: unlimited freedom).

• Mandigo: that would be the theme this website is built upon.  Themes are used by Wordpress to provide the look and feel of the site, and there are many themes out there, free or for purchase.  I love the Mandigo theme, it is free (but I do in fact donate).   I have altered the Mandigo theme slightly for this website.
