Reviews of 11 of the best WordPress themes for writers and authors; easy to use and flexible themes with a professional and clean user interface.
Writers can use a WordPress blog to not only write and publish their work online, but also to potentially sell their books. Choosing a good quality WordPress theme is essential when setting up your new website as a professional writer or author.

By far the best WordPress plugin to lazy load images is a3 Lazy Load. In this article I am going to show you how you can configure this plugin in 5 minutes and have a faster loading website straight away.
