How to Use Both the Gutenberg Editor and the Classic Editor in WordPress
With WordPress 5.0 and up, the classic editor (TinyMCE) will be replaced with something newer and maybe easier, named Gutenberg (after the publisher who introduced printing in Europe). The Gutenberg editor brings block-based editing to WordPress, similar to how Wix, Weebly, or Site123 organize their editing. This was actually the reason for the whole circus: the competition from the “free” website builders. What people don’t understand is that Wordpress is REALLY free, IT is open source and … [Read more...]

But what if you're not interested in your timeline and your target is a different one? Should you stay awake all night long to let your overseas friends to know what you … [Read more...]
PageRank Is Dead. A Certainty Now
PageRank is dead. Officially. I was wondering why my website doesn't rise on this so important metric at at a time? It was because Google as a company who cares more about its products than the consumers, didn't update since December 6, 2013. Because I still saw it on my browser, I wasn't concerned at all. It is right that I have received a wink from a link manager once when I said that I'll work to increase my PR in no time (it was in 2014, and it concerned my other website, The Yacht Owner), I … [Read more...]
