Many people resist things they don’t understand and that’s how I felt about WordPress for many years.As I began making more blog posts, I could see an increase in my sales. I became a convert.
WordPress Is Search Engine Friendly
Search engines love WordPress and there’s a good reason for that. The WordPress developers went to the big search engines and asked them what they could do to make a search engine friendly product. Because of that, the search engines are able to crawl through posts, pages, and categories to find and index your content.Then be sure to write some original content.
Pinging Your Blog
Pinging is by far one of the best features of a WordPress because it tells a web blog tracking system that your blog has been updated.Pinging services are to blogs what search engine spiders are to websites.Pining is probably one of the quickest ways to tell the world your blog has new content. Find and sign up for as many pinging services as you can because a well pinged blog can attract many visitors. You can enter their URLs in the WordPress Settings - Writing - Update Services.
Switching Themes Is Easy
After having developed many traditional HTML websites of my own, changing the design and layout is a major undertaking, yet one that needs to be done from time to time. Unfortunately, things often get broken in the process.
WordPress makes it very easy to switch themes without affecting the data. A theme is like a pair of window curtains around your blog. Post, pages, categories, and widgets don’t change, only the window dressing changes.WordPress is especially fun because you can change themes around major holidays or events.
Make Your Own WordPress Themes
Developing your own WordPress themes is fun and easy with theme development software like Artisteer.You can also make Joomla, Drupal, Blogger themes and more with Artisteer. Ever wish you could have a theme with sidebars on the left instead of right, or perhaps on both sides? Want a tabbed menu instead of a navigation bar? Or perhaps change the width of the layout and have a bigger space for a header image? Here are two blogs I made with Artisteer, one about the best WordPress hosting and the other about free workout videos. It’s also possible to make a blog look very much like a traditional HTML site with the help of a few plugins.
If you haven’t already given WordPress a try, I encourage you to do so. If you can use word-processing software, you can use WordPress.
