4 Good Reasons To Use WordPress
Many people resist things they don’t understand and that’s how I felt about WordPress for many years.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 went to the big search engines and asked them what they could do to make a search engine friendly product. 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. These pinging services are like search engine spiders for blogs.Pining is the fastest way to get your blog crawled and indexed.Find as many pinging services as you can because the more your blog is broadcast, the more visitors you’ll get.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, things often get broken 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 posts, pages, and category content is stored in the database and will remain unchanged. Only the window dressing changes.WordPress is especially fun because you can change themes around major holidays or events.
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 have a theme with sidebars on the left instead of right, or perhaps on both sides?Want a different font? 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 use word-processing software, you can use WordPress.
