4 Good Reasons To Use WordPress
I was reluctant to use WordPress for many years because I didn’t understand it.As I began making more blog posts, I could see an increase in my sales. I became a convert.
WordPress Is Search Engine Friendly
Search engines love WordPress and there’s a good reason for that.The WordPress developers worked with the search engines to ensure that WordPress would be easily crawled and indexed. Because of that, the search engines are able to crawl through posts, pages, and categories to find and index your content. All you need is good content.
Pinging Your Blog
Pinging is by far one of the best features of a WordPress because it tells a web blog tracking system that your blog has been updated.Pinging services are to blogs what search engine spiders are to websites.Pining is probably one of the quickest ways to tell the world your blog has new content. Find and sign up for as many pinging services as you can because a well pinged blog can attract many visitors.The URLs of the pinging services can be entered in the WordPress Settings – Writing – Update Services box.
Switching Themes Is Easy
After having developed many traditional HTML websites of my own, changing the design and layout is a major undertaking, yet one that needs to be done from time to time.Unfortunately, it’s easy to break funtionality in the process.
WordPress makes it very easy to switch themes without affecting the data. A theme is like a pair of window curtains around your blog.The blog’s content won’t change, only the window dressing changes. WordPress is especially fun around major holidays when you can switch from summer to fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas, and so on.
Make Your Own WordPress Themes
Developing your own WordPress themes is fun and easy with theme development software like Artisteer.Artisteer can also make Joomla themes, standard HTML templates and more.Ever wish you could hide the sidebars completely or move them from left to right? Want a tabbed menu instead of a navigation bar? Or perhaps change the width of the layout and have a bigger space for a header image? Here are two blogs I made with Artisteer, one about scented candles and the other about strength training.If you don’t like a “bloggy” look, you can also make a WordPress blog look like a standard website with the help of a few plugins.
If you haven’t already given WordPress a try, I encourage you to do so.If you can click on icons to run other popular software programs, you can use WordPress.
