Back when I started, Design Recharge on a platform called Spreecast. I fell in love with the format but had to pay for each episode if I wanted to download it. I paid the monthly fee to keep all episodes up so people could access them but couldn’t afford to download each episode.
When Spreecast folded they allowed creators to download all past episodes, I jumped on it. I missed a few because of a technical error and a few others because of my error. But I have yet to upload many of them. You will notice no intros and hopefully notice how I have improved. Ha Ha, seriously, I hope I have improved.

My favorite theme to use is the Elegant Themes’ Divi theme. Talk about making custom web design easy. It is the only theme I need. Based off of a grid system you can now customize your website super easy with this wordpress theme. You can pay per year or do what I did and do the lifetime membership at $250 then you can put it on as many websites as you want.
