WordPress as a CMS

Published on

These are the slides from my "WordPress as a CMS" presentation at WordCamp Montreal 2010. WordPress can be a powerful content management system for businesses. Find out why! Business owners, freelance web designers and programmers in the audience found this presentation useful, especially with the tips and practical advice. If you didn't attend the event, it should still be helpful. If nothing else, enjoy the Star Wars, BSG, and other geek references! Enjoy!

  • ★★ How Long Does She Want You to Last? ★★ A recent study proved that the average man lasts just 2-5 minutes in bed (during intercourse). The study also showed that many women need at least 7-10 minutes of intercourse to reach "The Big O" - and, worse still... 30% of women never get there during intercourse. Clearly, most men are NOT fulfilling there women's needs in bed. Now, as I've said many times - how long you can last is no guarantee of being a GREAT LOVER. But, not being able to last 20, 30 minutes or more, is definitely a sign that you're not going to "set your woman's world on fire" between the sheets. Question is: "What can you do to last longer?" Well, one of the best recommendations I can give you today is to read THIS report. In it, you'll discover a detailed guide to an Ancient Taoist Thrusting Technique that can help any man to last much longer in bed. I can vouch 100% for the technique because my husband has been using it for years :) Here's the link to the report ♣♣♣ https://tinyurl.com/rockhardxx
