WordPress is the world’s most popular blogging platform in the world. Forty-eight out of the top 100 blogs on Technorati use some version of WordPress, and Alexa estimates that around 17% of their “top one million” websites are powered by that blogging platform. How is it possible for WordPress to be used by so many website owners, and yet every blog looks different, and some WordPress powered sites don’t look like blogs at all? The Power of Themes The beauty of WordPress is that it is flexible and easy to extend. At its core, WordPress is a pretty simple platform.

After a breathless waiting period, the first untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.0 and 6.1 has been released. The jailbreak, called evasi0n and developed by evad3rs, has been released on evasi0n.com for all to download. The jailbreak is compatible with all iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and iPad Mini devices that are running iOS 6.0 or above. Installing the jailbreak is quite simple - just a matter of downloading the release for your computer's operating system (there are options for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows) and following the instructions.
