Meet Syed Balkhi (by the numbers) and wish him happy birthday!
Do you know my friend, Syed Balkhi? No? He doesn't pay me to be his PR. I'm just so impressed with him and how hard he works, and how generous he is with his knowledge, that I want to make sure you know him. He's the guy behind List25.com, WPBeginner.com, and tons of WordPress plugins....
