You just wrote a comment on a WordPress site and it’s showing your full name but you really only wanted to show your first name only. If you are a member/user of that site, here’s how to change that.

    Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free
    platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that
    I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Kudos!

      Hi Eduardo,

      I’m completely biased, but I’m also experienced. I’m just going to call it experienced. Yes, I recommend WordPress. If you really just want to dip your toes in the water and get things started and see how you’re doing, start a free site at wordpress.com. Then, after a while, if you see you’re reaching the limits of the free version, you can always upgrade to self-hosted WordPress solution. (see also, “WordPress.com or WordPress.org? What’s the difference?)
