Wordpress Bloging Platform

Wordpress Blogs are created using the open source Wordpress platform. IT can be used as a content management system (cms) similar to Drupal. It can be customized in many varied ways using plugins, that you add on to the basic install to create any sort of website.

Most people use Wordpress for blogging but it can be the basis for membership sites, news, photo galleries, ecommerce etc.

There are tons of themes for Wordpres; making is possible that you might not need to customize a site design because of the amount of themes available. Wordpress is easier to setup (in our opinion) than Drupal because the administrative interface is easier to understand.

Here are ten features that make Drupal so attractive:

#1 Wordpress has a lot of plugins that can extend the base functionality.

#2 Many hosting providers have it as part of the control panel (cpanel) that comes with your hosting account.

#3 Wordpress uses themes to handle the display of your website design, you can totally customize the appearance and content presentation of your site via modifying an existing theme or creating your own custom theme.

#4 Wordpress allows setting up user roles and permissions so you can manage access permissions for a website.

#5 Search engine friendly. Browser friendly so your site design looks the same in different browsers.

#6 Easy content syndication through RSS feeds.

#7 Large community for support.

#8 If used a a CMS, you don't have to worry about integrating a blog into the CMS later since blogging is built into Wordpress.

#9 Wordpress is very user-friendly.

#10 Wordpress is administered via the web, so you can use any browser to login and administer your site from anywhere that internet access is available.

The above list is just a small sample of what Wordpress has to offer. You can use Wordpress to create a wide variety of websites:
