ROTE 065: Shane Melaugh and the Creation of ThriveThemes

Do you remember the first web site you ever created? For me it was over 15 years ago and the complications of building a site back then was quite in-depth. First you would need to hand code your site in HTML or use an editor like Microsoft FrontPage, then you would need to upload your images and site files through FTP software to your web host — then your site content would be live!

A lot has changed since then, and WordPress is one of the most powerful and influential inventions since then. WordPress allows anyone to easily get setup with a site or blog of their own in just minutes and never requires the need for anyone to mess with coding or uploading files through FTP.

It’s time to appreciate everything the Internet has to offer.. all of this and more in the latest episode of Rise of the Entrepreneur with Aaron Walker.
