After being invited to Yahoo! Open HackdayÂ? (I should probably provide a link to the official site as well), we were contacted by another local individual that was dabbling in the online arena. The gentleman’s name was Sherman Hu, an Abbotsford resident that had developed the site and content surrounding WordPressTutorials.com. To be honest, the first impression of the site was it looked dated. It was tough to get past what Sherman himself described as a direct marketing salesletter.

At the beginning of this week, Sherman released his extreme makeover of the site, WordPressTutorials.com version 2.0. The new look is described as Mac-ish, and intended to attract a mainstream business audience, the internet marketing audience and the media. The site has now become more education focussed, and the look and feel of the site are great! For me personally, it makes it easier to browse the resources he has available. Blogging is still a very new feature on the web, especially as a tool to help generate sales and sales leads. I would definitely recommend to anyone that they at least check out the site, not only for the extreme makeover, but also for valuable information on blogging, videocasting, and podcasting - the three topics Sherman focuses on demystifying and simplifying.
