wordpress

Wordpress is a blog publishing system developed by Matt Mullenweg, Ryan Boren and other contributors using PHP programming.

The 3 reasons why I think WordPress has win over other WYSISYG HTML editor are:

1. Support multiple theme templates, plugins and widgets

The main reason why WordPress is so flexible and effective is because it can support so many different theme templates, SEO friendly plugins and useful widgets to transform and optimize your websites.

I can still remenber 3 years ago when I developed my web projects using HTML editor. The project took me about 3 months to complete. The development was slow and tedious. Eveytime I need to update the navigation or links, I have to update all other pages one by one.

Now with WordPress, the header, body, sidebar and footer are all independent of one another. For instance, if I update the header, I do not need to update the rest of the pages. This really speed up my web development process as I completed one of my web project in just 10 days!

2. Open Source

Another reason why I think WordPress can gain so much popularity in such a short period of time is because it is FREE. You can go to this link http://wordpress.org/download to download. Alternatively, you can register your domain with a web hosting company that support fantastico script which allow you to enable wordpress easy and fast.

Only bluehost support both fantastico and simplescripts. Simplescripts perform better than fantastico as it is more user-friendly, support many other popular scripts like wordpress, Joomla and phpBB forum.

3. Use as Blog or CMS

Wordpress can be used for blogging or as a content management system. Like this website which you are reading, I used wordpress for both as blogging and content management system. Isn’t it cool ?
