Article Directory :: Internet Marketing/Online Business Articles WordPress - Blog Humbug By Cary Ganz Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 18Jul2009 Word count: 468 Viewed: 284 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site When I first started using blogs there were several choices. It really didn't seem to matter which program you chose (Blogger, WordPress etc.) because they were all free and pretty easy to use. Well, I have got to admit that I was not only naive but totally wrong. Today, I have probably ten or more blogs and most of them are on the WordPress platform. The early ones were created in Blogger because Blogger seemed to have a greater presence in the Internet and appeared to be a bigger player. Once again, I was mistaken. In one simple word, WordPress is, as my kids say, "Awesome". Let me explain why. 1. It's Free. If you've read anything I've written before or have been a member of one of my websites, you know I just love free. 2. It Works. Now free is great but working as promised is even greater. How many things have you purchased for real money or gotten for free, have really worked as promised? Not many I guess.... 3. It's Open Source. By opening the code to all programmers, WordPress has grown by leaps and bounds. Today there are thousands of applications, themes and plug-ins available that would not be around if the code was protected. 4. It's Easy to Setup and Install - Register a domain with a hosting company that has Fantastico built into its cPanel and installing WordPress is a snap.All you need to do is register a domain, or even use an existing domain, start Fantastico and let it do all the work. 5. Simplicity - Once you've installed WordPress, the dashboard controls practically every process you need to deal with in order to maximize your blog. 6. Blog or Need I Say Website - WordPress blogs are far more than what blogs were years or even months ago. Today they can be complete websites with all of the functionality previously only available with HTML type programming. You can even have a membership site with all of the necessary features just using a blog. Kind of cool.... 7. Did I Say Plug-in? - Now, this is really where the power begins. For those of you that are not WordPress aficionados, plug-ins are like mini-applications that make WordPress a powerhouse. With the right plug-in you can do just about anything with your blog such as SEO, chatting, converting text to speech, adding videos, tracking etc. Truly amazing not only in their ability but in their number. There are literally thousands of plug-ins and most of them are free. Conclusion - If you are currently thinking about either creating a blog or have a need to fabricate a new website, I would sincerely suggest that you take a look at using WordPress. There are just tons of articles, eBooks and videos available to help you on your way. For those of you interested in learning more about WordPress and the use of plug-ins there is a free eBook available by Clicking Here. This report will provide you with steps to install plug-ins easily and quickly as well as a whole bunch of plug-ins to make your blog/website hummmmmm.
