subject: Wordpressweb Design Experts [print this page] WordPress is the leading blog publishing platform in the world. It claims to be in use by more than 2% of the top 10,000 web sites by size. WordPress is free open source software and most bloggers can manage the basic tasks necessary to get a blog or a content management site up and running reasonably quickly.
Because wordpress is template-driven, the basic tasks of setting up and creating a desirable appearance for a blog are relatively easy for the average blogger. But WordPress can be far more than its most elemental form. With a plug-in architecture it is possible to add any of hundreds of optional functions and extensions to the basic core system.
WordPress can also be managed from apps now available for the iPhone, Android and Blackberry. The creators of the platform describe WordPress as a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
Perhaps the most noteworthy features of WordPress are:
Integrated link management
A permalink structure that is search-engine friendly
Ability to assign multiple categories to articles
Excellent support for tagging posts and articles
Handy automatic filters for proper formatting of text in articles
Supports Pingback and Trackback
There are two ways to use WordPress, both of which are free. First, for those who simply want to start blogging quickly, there is an online version. In this approach, your blog resides on the WordPress site and your administrator accesses your blog through a secure site. The second way to use WordPress is to take advantage of the free download and have the blog reside on your site.
WordPress is a pleasant surprise for the non-technical individual who wants or needs a blog for business or personal use. It is quintessentially user friendly in its most basic form. If you will be content with a blog that shares its basic appearance with thousands of other users, you will find blog creation in WordPress entirely manageable. If you want something unique or something with added functionality, you will probably want to engage a WordPress specialist or a Web developer who is intimately familiar with the range of plug-ins, widgets and other options available.
Investing the time in exploring the many plug-ins and widgets could require far more time than you really want to invest in your blogs aesthetics.
