Wordpress ~ Simply A Necessity

What more can I say? Wordpress is simply the only way to run a website. Even if you don’t want a blog, you still need Wordpress for content management. I’ve been using Wordpress for years and believe me, it’s changed a lot over those years…for THE BETTER! When it comes to a content management system (affectionately referred to as CMS) you won’t find a more simple or cheaper alternative (it’s free!).

I’ll definitely be writing more about Wordpress as I think I’m going to have to do some tutorials or something but for right now I just wanted to get a post in the “Build Your Website” section of the the site to let you know where I stand and what I’ll be teaching on this site.

Also, to add to the “use Wordpress” mantra, only use Wordpress in your own hosting account, that way you own and have control of the content. There is an option to use Wordpress on a hosted site where the content is hosted by wordpress.com, don’t do it. It’s just like using a Blogger account, don’t do it. You’re at the mercy of someone else, don’t do it.

Here’s the link where you can download the most current version of Wordpress ~ and IT’S FREE!!!

http://wordpress.org/

Notice the .ORG ~ NOT .COM.

In another post I’ll give you links to two Wordpress plug-ins that are must haves.

    yes, i agree with you the WordPress has revolutionised the blog and CMS scenario. but beside WP i have found Zimplit a new CMS equally competitive. the best part of zimplit unlike WP is that persons like me with out any knowledge of coding can also easily use it

    Antioxidants can help the condition of your skin and the health of your cells, I am not so sure if it will help acne, I have never heard of that, and it doesnt seem to make sense. I get pimples all over my face because i work in a dirty environment, its completely independant of my health and skin condition.

    If you want to add antioxidants to your diet, there is a product called Exfuze, its a daily suppliment in the form of a tasty juice. They make it from the 7 most nutrient packed fruits known by science, asside from being a great source of antioxidants, and vitamins, it has coutless other benfits

    One of the most important things that a lot of WordPress bloggers overlook is the necessity of setting up a robots.txt file.
