5 Reasons Why Wordpress Rules
September 5th, 2008
Easy To Setup & Learn
The famous Wordpress install is fabulous. It takes fewer clicks than installing a program on your desktop and most hosts offer automated single-click install scripts. Adding to the easy install are the countless themes that you can apply to get your site spiffy in no time. “This is caveman-simple”, remarked one of my clients. That’s how easy it is to get going on Wordpress. 123 and you are done, especially since the new versions with the better interface has come out.
Easy to Find Help
The trouble with most Open Source platforms is the Help issue. This is something Wordpress cannot be blamed for. The Wordpress community is very helpful and has developed so much stuff that Google search is the only thing you need to get help. There are also firms that specialize in getting the best out of Wordpress, so if turn-key solutions with support are your thing, Wordpress is there as well.
Easy to Extend
You name it you’ve got it. Wordpress is more than a blog, it is a real cross communication platform. Few other platforms have been so actively developed by so many people. You can use it as a corporate website, magazine, portfolio, address book, online shop etc.. among other things. Oh I forgot it is a bloging platform too. Plugins have been developed to integrate it into all kinds of online services like facebook, flickr, twitter, social bookmarkng sites, google analytics etc.. just to name a few. Even though too many plugins can slow down a site, The very fact that something something like this exists is a chance for many individuals and small businesses to get their business on the web without costing a bomb.
Easy to Publicize
This is where the real strength of Wordpress lies. Google loves Wordpress as most of the time the content is real. Wordpress has a lot of plugins that enable Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Stuff like sitemaps, Xml sitemaps for search engines, Ping services to bookmarking Sites, Search Engine Friendly URLs etc make Wordpress a formidable tool is getting up search Rankings. Not only that easy integration with Social Bookmarking Sites (DIGG, DEL.ICIO.US, TECHNORATI etc..) and sites like Facebook is a massive plus.
Easy to Backup & Move
Moving is important as most websites will change servers at least one once in their life span. Wordpress has some really easy to use plugins to backup data and to manage the backups. Moving is easy as well with some great migration tools available.
There are a lot of Content Management Systems out there. Some are pretty good, like Drupal, Joomla, Movable Type etc.. but none combine dummy proof usability and a durable efficiency like Wordpress.
So what are you waiting for? Dump that cumbersome slow loading website of yours and Celebrate the freedom of Open Source.
Love Live Wordpress!

Wordpress is a great blogging platform and getting it search engine optimized really isn’t a hard task. Using proper permalinks and robots.txt file to prevent duplicate content and a few other methods can really make a difference. The All in One SEO plugin is really the best bet.
