About Us
A brief synopsis of who we are for now
(still under construction on this little project).
Portland Dreams is brought to you by Chris O’Rourke of cdcstudios.com and a diverse group of people who love blogging, love Portland, love wordpress and love making people happy. We’ve all been longtime fans of the entirety of wordpress.org’s open source software and even wordpress.com.
However with as easy as we find it delving into the heady world of HTML, CSS, Javascript and other complicated sounding terms, we’d rather let you the user have the ease of a highly tuned, advanced blog that you can just enjoy posting to. You shouldn’t have to worry about setting up webhosting, a database, or ftp account. We don’t expect you to want to do anything other than post to your blog!
While there are much larger competitors out there such as Wordpress.com, Blogger, Typepad, or Livejournal that have been offering up blogs for years, we wanted to bring something of a more community nature, uniting Portlanders with other Portlanders. We’re not expecting to limit you from blogging about whatever you want but we think that Portland Dreams.com is a pretty special place.
We’re always working on Portland Dreams, be it extra widgets, new themes, more flexibility or just making sure your blogs get the support they need. We’re updating the system nearly everyday in order to make your service truly spectacular! The new features and services we offer are 100% based on what you the user want.

Currently everything on Portland Dreams.com is free, and things that are now free will always be free in the future, but we do plan to offer paid upgrades for things like template editing and custom domains. How do we pay for everything? Portland Dreams.com is run by CDC Studios which currently makes money from Graphic Design, Web Development, and hosting partnerships.
We know you have a choice in where you put your blog, and we’d love it if you made Portland Dreams your home. While we’re equally at home rooting around in a server, we also love beer, Barbeque and most importantly of all: Portland. If you’re a current user and you love us to bits and what we do here, Help us out by getting a friend set up. (Plus it gives you more people to trade links with)
