Everything from installing it to the overall look is great. I run a sunglass blog but the way I have Wordpress set up, you wouldn’t know that I was using Wordpress. There are many built in features that can be activated or shut off at any time. On most blog you see things like comments from members. To my surprise I was able to turn that off so not only can’t you comment, but it won’t even show a comment form in the first place. Themes I started to purchase a unique Wordpress theme but after seeing the professional Wordpress themes that are for FREE, I quickly grab one that I liked. Once again, the theme doesn’t look like a blog at all. The only thing I had to do is change the footer links to my liking and I was done. I used the money I had planned on spending on a theme on a good seo firm instead! All you need to do in order to add a theme is to upload it in your theme directory and then activate it in the admin panel. Plug-ins With Wordpress you can search for plug-ins using their built in search function that will show plug-ins that are available. Not only can you find them but you can also install them without having to download and re-upload them to your server. Plug-ins vary in nature from news sliders to the way the overall blog functions. I even added a message board with a few clicks of the button that matches my themes color. You don’t really need technical skills with Wordpress, it’s pretty self explanatory. Editorial Features Ultimately the editorial features are what separate Wordpress from similar blogging systems. There is an option for html or Wordpress formatted text. Things such as the html is all controlled through the .css so you don’t have to waste time with that. I don’t care what anyone tells you, Wordpress is simply the best blogging system out today.

It has a very fast installation and a lot of free plugins, themes & extensions. Wordpress security management is brilliant. WP is very friendly for search engines, for sure with plugins like All-in-one-SEO plugin. Rewrite your URL, custom title, desc and keywords and much more SEO options. The performance of Wordpress is outstanding, in a year it had only two errors, because a plugin error in my database, loading time is fast. Accoording to my uptime report it had a availability of 99,8% :-) Wordpress is in my option the best open source CMS on internet.

I used to use blogger but once I tried Wordpress I ever went back. It’s just so easy to use that anyone could become a webmaster and learn the ins and out of the webmaster profession. Widgets are the best part of Wordpress because you can just click and drag them, throw some code in and you’re done. The way the admin panel is set-up is simple to use and the ability to add plug-ins from there is a breeze. Wordpress is hands down the best cms or blogging system out.
