It’s not just for blogging (a web diary)… it’s a great content management software, which means once it’s set up and looking good, you can log into the backend and update it yourself with new articles. , pages, etc WordPress can be a full website, but with the added bonus that you can update your own content.

WordPress provides interactivity. Built into the software is the ability to comment on all articles you post or pages on the site. If you’re worried about spam attacks or people making comments you don’t like, you also have the ability to approve the comment before it’s published.

You can customize a wordpress blog to look like a website… (with a little help from a web designer like me!)

Continuing original content is a great way to get more traffic and a blog is a great way to easily post your ideas, articles and images without knowing how to design a website. It works like an email editor and is just as easy.

With a free service like Feedburner, you can get people to subscribe to your blog for updates. Every time you publish a new article, an email is sent to the people who have subscribed and that it is available.

On the back-end part of the software, you can do all sorts of cool things, like look at your stats and see who clicked on which link to get to your blog/site, what phrase they used in search engines… add plug-ins like some of these.

All in all, wordpress is a good way to add interactivity and manage your own content. As a web designer, I am more than happy to update your website, but there are people who want to do it themselves, and this platform makes sense!
