10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Build a website for your independent business in the
same spirit you run it. DIY (do it yourself) with
WordPress. In this course, Morten Rand-Hendriksen shows how
to create a website complete with a contact form, social
sharing buttons, front page slider, and a photo gallery. He
walks through every step in the process: from site planning
and finding the right plugins, to installing a new theme
and customizing the appearance of your site to match your
brand. Plus, get tips for prepping and sharing your site
with the world
