 The Five Reasons I Just Love WordPressPublished Date: 2009-06-21 05:33:52 WorkOnInternet.com
Reason #1: It's FREE - I love open source, free stuff. Because it's free and open source, (meaning that individuals can add to the code. WordPress is developed by everyone rather than by a small group of self absorbed corporate programmers)it is available to everyone and grows based upon the needs of the WordPress community. That is an important concept and not to be underestimated. Reason #2: Do It Your Way - With WordPress you have a couple of choices as to how you will develop your blog. You can use the free (I love saying free) application at WordPress or if you have your own domain (the more suggested pathway) you can use a program like Fantistico usually found in your domain's cpanel and upload WordPress to your own domain.This is the preferred way because it truly gives you almost unlimited control and you own the blog. Reason #3 - No More Websites - With WordPress you really can almost forget having to create websites in the old, traditional way. WordPress blogs (and I guess blogs in general) are really just simple websites that can basically replace most of the reasons to create websites in any other way. Reason #4 - Plug Me In - Now this is really where WordPress shines. Because of it being open source, WordPress provides the world community the ability to easily develop unique little programs that integrate easily with your WordPress blog. The number and variety of "plug-ins" is abundant. Just think of something you'd like to do with your blog and I'll bet there is a plug-in somewhere that will accomplish the task...and did I mention that most of the plug-ins are FREE. Reason #5: Change Your Appearance As Often As You Change Your Underwear - OK. This sounds kind of silly but if you like to have different blogs with different looks and appeal, there are thousands of themes available to provide you with just such an opportunity. Most of these themes are FREE and they can be installed in a matter of seconds not minutes. OK, I'll give you one more reason for free....you can create as many WordPress blogs as you can imagine. There is no limit on the number or types of blogs you can create with WordPress. The only limitations is your own creativity and possibly your wants and needs. Conclusion - In reality there are probably many other reasons beyond the five (OK six) reasons I present in this brief article. Now is the time for you to get going with creating your first blog with WordPress on your own domain and I'm positive you'll start falling love as well. ------------------------------ Learn more about WordPress at "WordPress Unleashed" at http://www.wordpressunleashedonline.com , by listening to thirteen (13) educational and strategic videos.
