This is going to be a short introduction of WPCouple.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The First Attempt<\/h2>\n<p>I have had been blogging for last twelve years or so. I remember the first time I tried to start a blog about WordPress; it was 2011 and the domain I bought was <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20130511213755\/http:\/\/wptuto.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WPTuto.com<\/a> the idea was to provide beginner tutorials like WPBeginner but better and with video content (which WPBeginner have just started). After writing like seven posts, I got bored and felt like there was no need to reinvent the wheel. And fast forward three years, I even let the domain name expire.<\/p>\n<h2>The Second Attempt<\/h2>\n<p>From 2012 to 2014, I registered several domains to find out what niche I could pick up. Here&#8217;s a roundup of a few of them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WPInFocus: WP related news, later on, I thought WPTavern was enough.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/WPMetaList.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WPHawker and now WPMetaList<\/a>: ProductHunt for WordPress community, but left it for ManageWP.org<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20150530153457\/http:\/\/wphunch.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WPHunch<\/a>: Idea sharing and plugin reviews but didn&#8217;t feel the time was right. Team fell apart; I wanted quality content, and while I was willing to pay for it, I was micro-managing all three writers (since they weren&#8217;t doing as well as I expected)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Third Attempt<\/h2>\n<p>Well, here we are. It&#8217;s 2016, and I pretty much know WordPress is my thing. Last year alone I wrote 200+ WordPress articles at sites like Envato Tuts+, SitePoint, TorqueMag, etc. Now I think it&#8217;s time I start a blog about WordPress. You might be wondering what&#8217;s the difference this time along? Well,<\/p>\n<p>Along with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maedahbatool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maedah Batool<\/a>\u00a0(Creative Director @WPTie), I plan to write about stuff that couples well with WordPress.\u00a0When you are looking to build a WordPress website for a particular purpose,\u00a0which plugins and themes serve that purpose right? Yes, this blog will be the answer to this question.<\/p>\n<p>But hey, it&#8217;s just an opinion. I am not hiring people to write for me, this time, it is going to be the two of us. \u00a0And with your feedback, I plan to mold and make the content better by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s revisit this page later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to admit, I suck at writing introductory posts, so guess what?
