10 Reasons To Use A
WordPress Blog Over Any
Other Blogging System
www.successwithwordpress.com

The use of WordPress is a great solution
for adding a blog to a website over
many other options. This is one of the
most popular options for blogging
software available on the market.

In this post I am going to give you 10 reasons
why you should choose WordPress as your
preferred platform for blogging or as a
content management system.

Ease of Use
WordPress has an intuitive interface which
makes it easy to use. Users will be able to
add new blog posts and pages with very
little effort.

Also adding media elements to your
blog posts and pages is easy even for
the most technically challenged.

Easy to Access
Users can access their WordPress site from
any computer connected to the Internet. This
is available if you choose to build your blog
on the free hosted browser-based platform
that WordPress offers.

Users If you run your blog on a self-
hosted platform you can still access your
blog through the admin panel.

No HTML Editing
Templates are available to create a
customized site without the need to edit
any HTML.

This will mean a user is able to create a
new blog post, upload images, or format
text directly from the dashboard. This is
great for those none coders and people
who do not want to fumble with any
programming language!

Search Engines
Search engines like Google love content and
using a CMS like WordPress makes it easy to
feed content to the search engines.
WordPress is a platform with code that is
simple and clean.

This means there are no issues when a
blog is being indexed by Google or any
other search engine. Keywords and tags
can be added to every post, title, or
image.

This is crucial as proper keywords are
necessary for proper SEO. You are also
able to set your permalink structure in
your admin panel. This allows you to
optimize your blog post url display for
search.

Users Have Control
A user can make a change or update
their site at any time. There is no need
for a web designer as there are themes
that can be selected or updated with a
few simple clicks of the mouse.

Most other blog platforms don't allow
for a self-hosted option which means
you don't control your content and they
can place ads on your site whenever
they choose.

Even worse if they choose to shut down
their site you will lose all the content
you published which would be really
bad. If you use the WordPress self-
hosted option you control everything!

Completely Customizable
WordPress is a platform that acts as an
engine for a website. This means any
tweak or additions can be made to
create a customized website.

A user can create their own brand which
can then be shared with social media
and other online sites.

WordPress is very versatile and can be
used to create eCommerce sites,
membership sites, directories, mobile
sites, and anything else you can dream
up.

I'm sure someone has pushed the limits
on what you can do with a WordPress
CMS.

Plug-Ins
The use of plug-ins allows users to
expand the functionality of their site.

There are various plug-ins that can be
used to add a Facebook sharing option,
a Twitter feed, YouTube videos and
many more.

You can absolutely go crazy installing
plugins! Just keep in mind that these
plugins can bog down the performance
of your site and cause to run at less than
optimal levels.

So only keep the plugins that are vital to
your site growth and help to build your
audience.

Built-In Functions
A blog is a built-in function of
WordPress. This means users can include
email subscriptions or add an RSS feed
to their blog.

Commenting capabilities for visitors
can also be added.

Mobile Web
Visitors do not need to use a desktop
computer to see the capabilities of a
blog. WordPress is set up for the mobile
website user.

Another aspect about WordPress is
many themes are responsive and will
display a site to be fully functional for a
mobile user.

Responsive means that it can be viewed
on smaller screen sizes without any loss
in image quality. The site will conform to
the new screen size.

This is important when choosing a theme
as most site visitors will probably view
your site on their mobile device when on
the go.

Open Source
WordPress is a platform that is open
source. This means there are no limitations
and restrictions that you will find with
most commercial products used for blogs.

A user is able to use WordPress
in anyway they need in order to develop
a blog that is customization and unique
for them.

Hopefully you were able to see why
choosing WordPress could be a
better option for your site.
