Benefits of WordPress Websites

March 16, 2012 By Leave a Comment

By Danny Watkinson -

What’s are the major benefits of having a WordPress website?

If you’re thinking about having a website yourself, you are probably asking that very same question. I could easily ramble on about technical things copied from forums and blogs, but that wouldn’t help anyone and would totally go against what WordPress is all about, simplicity and quality!

Instead, however, I can be honest and tell you about what I see as the benefits of a WordPress website, as an end user, not a web designer.

Firstly, our WordPress website, is easy to use. Very easy. We were in need of a content management website that we could easily control ourselves, and this ticked all the boxes. It looks good, it feels good, and does an ideal job. We chose WordPress because we needed to be able to update our website whenever we needed to. We wanted to be able to do this ourselves whenever we felt necessary, rather than having to constantly call a web developer asking them to change a list of things. Luckily for us, news, videos, blogs, testimonials and more can be added and edited in minutes!

Developed from blogging software and created by a professional WordPress Web Design team, the WordPress user interface is easy to use and takes only minutes to learn and master if given the right tuition. So, updating your WordPress website is a really simple and easy process, but what other benefits do WordPress websites offer you? Well here’s a swift little list of some of the most useful points:

SEO! – You can optimise your website easily by adding tags to all your pages and posts. Its also very easy to update regularly, and Google loves new content!

Customisation! – You can change the look and colour of your website in a few clicks. There is a simple editor which is easy to use, along with many different themes available.

Social Media! – WordPress is fully compatible with all forms of social media. Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, can all appear on your site.

A site for life! – WordPress is always being updated! If you want to add a new section, page, post, to your website, you can easily do it in a couple of clicks. Want a site that can expand and change with your business, this is it!

Integration! – Newsletters, online payment systems, social media, contact forms, E-commerce, WordPress has a plug-in for all those, and many many more.

Some are very simple whilst you might need a WordPress expert to help you out with some, but any good web design company can help you in seconds.

A real technical web expert could probably tell you even more benefits that i don’t know, but I do know that, as an end user, the WordPress sites work perfectly for us and provide everything we need.

Use WordPress for Your First Website

December 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By William P. Kelly -

You are probably reading this because you’re thinking about making a website but you’re pretty new to the game. You might not know any HTML, or any other programming language for that matter, and you’ve been doing some online research. You may or may not have heard of WordPress but, if you fit the description above, it’s about to become your new favorite thing.

What the Heck is WordPress?

WordPress is what is known as a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS is a program that, in the website creation world, makes it very easy to create, store and display content. It’s a database driven system but don’t let that word “database” scare you off. All of the heavy lifting gets done in the background and you really won’t need to know anything at all about databases. Down the line, once you get some experience, you’ll learn a bit but it is not necessary to know anything about them to make a WordPress website. One of the nice things about this is it’s an Open Source program which means, among other things, it’s free to use.

Why WordPress is Good for Beginners

For one you won’t need to know anything about HTML which is the main markup language the Internet is built on. The WordPress software will do all the HTML creation for you in the back ground. You won’t need to understand File Transfer Protocol (FTP) either though you’ll probably learn about it later on. All you’ll really need to know how to do is type and click a mouse. This may sound like a massive understatement but, to make a good looking and operational website, that’s really all you need. For the beginner it lets you make a nice website quickly and as your skills increase the program will “grow” with you.

What it can do

You will be astounded what this system can do. Starting from a very basic site you will be able to do the simple stuff like create unlimited pages and blog posts, post images and videos, create web forms, RSS feed, comments, email newsletters and all of that. In addition, through the use of thousands of free “plugins” you can expand the site into a photoblog, a video blog, create an online ecommerce store with built in ordering systems, create membership based sites, incorporate event scheduling, contact management, allow other people to post on your site and so much more. Through the use of themes you can easily change the entire look and layout of your site in seconds. Long story short this system can do just about anything you can image.

Take Away

I’ve tried all sorts of website builders and CMS solutions. WordPress is, in my opinion, by far the best for any beginner…even if you have absolutely no idea about any of this stuff. As your skills and understanding grows you’ll be able to do more and more with your website or blog.

The Difference Between a Blog and a Website

December 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By William P. Kelly -

The terminology of the Internet can seem pretty confusing to the beginner as everyone seems to have slightly different meanings for very common phrases. The common question of what the difference is between a blog and a website is the perfect example of this.

What exactly is a website?

In basic terms all websites are not much more than collections of related web pages. A web page is nothing more than a bunch of files that are accessible on the internet. For example, the article you are reading right now is a text file sitting in a folder on a server somewhere. That server is connected to the Internet and you are able to view this file using your Internet Browser. That website address (or URL) at the top of your Internet Browser is the specific web address of the web page that contains this article. So if you have a bunch of files that form a web page, and put a bunch of those web pages together you’ve got a website. Pretty broad and basic explanation but it’s the main idea. There are many, many different styles of website out there.

What’s a blog then?

A blog is nothing more than a style of website, or a part of a website, that displays information in a certain format. The most basic style of blog presents posts in chronological order very much in the manner of a daily log (web+log = blog). Typically blogs tend to be updated (new content added) on a regular basis and tend to encourage reader interaction though comment sections and other types of member communication. The sense of community and reader involvement around blogs is the biggest draw to this website style. Blogs can be about one topic, many related topics or just about anything under the sun. They can be used to present writing, photography, videos, podcasts and more. They tend to be pretty simple to create and operate which offers people an amazing opportunity to voice their opinions and showcase their work. Posts can be presented in a variety of ways, broken up into categories, filtered, tagged, spun into RSS feeds to be blasted out to the Internet and all sorts of good stuff. The icing on the cake is search engines love blogs and bloggers for the steady stream of new content they provide.

So is there a difference?

Not really as a blog is basically just one type of website however there can be confusion. Typically when someone hears “website” they think of a collection of static web pages that are organized in a very static way. Think front page, about us page, product page, contact page, etc. When they hear “blog” they tend to think of a more flowing, stream of thought style content presentation. A common system is for web designers to create a “standard” type website with pages of content which also offers a blog section.

WordPress – The Most Popular Blogging Platform

November 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By Darren W Chow -

WordPress is currently the most popular blogging platform. This self-hosted blogging platform now boasts of over 72,250 out of the top 1 million websites today. To date, no other CMS system comes close to it in terms of popularity and it is expected to set the pace for all the other blogging platforms.

So, where can we attribute this phenomenal success and popularity of WordPress? This blogging platform was formally launched in 2003, and it immediately achieved stellar status. Since its launch, WordPress has been consistently growing on a month-to-month basis. Experts attribute this impressive performance to the flexibility, reliability and simplicity of the CMS system. A greater part of its success can be credited to its more than 12,000 plugins and nearly 1,500 themes. Anyone can build almost anything on their site, from shopping sites to forums. In addition to this, the SEO concerns are adequately addressed by WordPress, and you can easily promote your site at Google when you use this popular blogging platform.

However, we need to know and understand the distinction between WordPress and WordPress(dot)com. WordPress is the open source CMS system that you can download for free at WordPress (dot) org. On the other hand, WordPress (dot) com is a free blogging service that makes use of the WordPress software. The self-hosted WordPress is used by those who have a more advanced set of requirements in their websites.

2011 is expected to be another banner year for WordPress. It is well-entrenched at the top spot and is perceived by many as the best choice among all the blogging platforms used by companies and professionals. There are about 4 million sites that are using WordPress. It is the hands-down leader and the situation is not expected to change anytime soon.

The huge and continued success of WordPress can be attributed to several factors. A lot of people who have tried other blogging platforms usually revert back to WordPress. And the main reason why most people prefer WordPress over the blogging platforms is its unmatched functionality.

WordPress is known for its endless stream of functional plugins, which can be downloaded, installed and utilized on the fly. Whatever your requirements are in your website, there is a strong possibility that you have a bevy of plugins which you can download and use to enhance the capabilities and features of your website. These plugins can be easily activated through the WordPress site’s admin section.

Customizing your website is almost a child’s play with WordPress. With literally thousands of WordPress themes, you will surely find one that perfectly matches your requirements and preferences. There are WordPress themes that offer single-column 2-column or 3-columns as well as different color combinations, graphics and flash elements.

WordPress is not a hard nut to crack. You can easily perform the installation of WordPress through the cPanel. The entire process can be completed in a couple of minutes and once the WordPress blog is installed, you are all set to go.

WordPress blog can be hosted with iPage WordPress shared hosting plan. They are 100% green and very affordable. Besides WordPress, you can setup other blogging platforms too. For example, you can setup b2evolution blog hosting as well. Visit ipagereview.org for more information and reviews.

WordPress for Bloggers

November 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By Vishal Arora

Everyone talks about blogging these days. What is it about blogging that makes it so popular and more and more people are ready to explore it? A simple answer to it is the fact that blogging in todays’ context goes much beyond sharing your personal diary with the world. It is a great way to boost your business.

WordPress is one of the fastest growing blogging platforms widely used by people around the world for the personal work or for their businesses. WordPress development is expanding in an unimaginable manner, thus catering to all kinds of needs. One of its key features which helps it attract so many users is the fact that it is an open source platform. WordPress developers who are the brains behind the amazing features are keen to let their knowledge reach millions.

Being open source, other than the developers, the users too can create themes as they want, install the plug-ins they need and overall play around with its basic features. The bloggers who know a combination of basic HTML and CSS have an added advantage. However, a great yet simple way to boast your business through WordPress is by blogging. It may sound contradictory for the fact that WordPress is a blogging platform, but today it is one of the easiest ways of maintaining a website.

Custom WordPress development is like its second skin. With so many options of templates, plug-ins, themes, you can make the site look just the way you imagine it. However, if you are not very comfortable with the idea of managing a full-fledged blog on your own, you can hire the services of any offshore development centers. These centers are mainly into outsourcing business and cater to the client’s web solutions. So if you think you need to boost your business through your WordPress blog, outsource your work to one of these companies.

Key features of WordPress

  • WordPress is absolutely free. All you need to do is download it and get started. It is this simple.
  • The content management system (CMS) that WordPress provides is amazing and easy to use. You can store audio, video files as well as posts that can be posted later.

Which WordPress Blog Platform Is Right For You? Self-Hosted or Not

November 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By Sam Alnawar

–

What you plan to do with a WordPress website has a lot to do with the version of the software you use. WordPress can be found online with both an “org” and a “com” extension, but they are both different even though each is free to use.

Advantages of WordPress.com

If you just want a sounding board where you can voice an opinion and receive comments, the “com” version of WordPress is probably the best for you. You won’t need to spend time designing the site because you will choose from the limited themes that WordPress has to offer.

The hosting is on the WordPress site, so your only expense is the internet connection you use to go to the website and maintain your blog. There are thousands of people who prefer the simplicity and ease of a site of this type.

It is mainly for people who don’t plan to monetize their website (not allowed on WordPress hosted blogs) and just have a topic of interest they like to blog about.

Advantages of WordPress.org

It is more expensive to have this version of WordPress than the other because you must host it yourself. If you already pay hosting to someone for server space, you probably won’t be out any more when you add a non-WordPress hosted site.

The most obvious difference is that you can do a lot more with a self-hosted WordPress blog. You own the site, not WordPress, and you can monetize it with ads or perform other commercial revenue earning activities. An attempt to use the “com” platform for financial gain can result in your site being shut down, meaning all your work lost.

You have freedom to design the site any way you want on a self-hosted blog. You are not limited by the themes offered by WordPress; you can design your own or use many of the free or purchased ones available.

You have unlimited flexibility using the huge number of WordPress plug-ins available. Many of these are free to use and there are some select plug-ins that have an associated fee. With some of the paid versions, you may also be limited by the number of sites you are licensed to use it on.

Ease of Use

Naturally, because it is so much more powerful the self-hosted WordPress blog has the larger learning curve, even though it is still easy to master. Most people find that a WordPress crash course works well that shows them how to set up a site from scratch in less than a day.

Again, it all boils down to what you plan to use the blog for, and if it involves any commercial activity whatsoever, definitely go with the self-hosted option.

Find out how easy it is to build an impressive website quickly and easily by watching a WordPress Crash Course video showing how a site is built from scratch. Build your new website in less than a day! Find out more by visiting http://www.crashcoursetraining.info.

What Is WordPress?

November 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By Elijah James -

WordPress is one of the most commonly used content management systems, or CMS, for the majority of the websites currently on the internet. Any website that needs to upload or manage content in any way will find that WordPress is the best tool for them to use, as the amazingly flexible CMS is the best tool that will give them to total control over their website.

What is WordPress?

Many people have asked “What is WordPress?” There is a long and a short answer, and the short answer is that WordPress is the best content management system to use for any website. Its main competitor, Joomla, is equally simple to use, but is not as flexible as the WordPress content management system and back end that makes running a website so easier.

The longer answer is that WordPress literally can do anything you need it to do. There really are no limits to what your WordPress website can do, as you can simply download and install a plugin to perform any task that does not come automatically featured by WordPress. Using WordPress is the easiest way to work with a website, no matter how simple or how complex the website may be.

From the moment the website is created, WordPress is involved. As soon as the theme is designed, it is uploaded to the WordPress account as the face of the website. WordPress makes adding and altering themes easy, as it breaks the themes down into different elements for those who are making the modifications to the website. Making changes to a theme is as easy as making a few simple clicks, and the layout of the WordPress control panel is actually incredibly simple.

Once you have you theme in place, you will need to begin adding content, so you will need to make new posts. Adding content to your WordPress site is similar to making a new blog post, and the simple Add New Post page enables you to upload new content in a matter of minutes. You are able to add video and images, and the content is automatically uploaded to the website. You can control what page the content is added to, what category the newly generated web page belongs to, and a host of other details.

Working with SEO is one of the most important aspects of any website’s success, and there is a plugin that is quickly downloaded and installed to make your WordPress website much more SEO friendly. Using more complex video players, polls, forums, contact forms, and every other website essential is easy, as all you need to do is find the right plugin to use with WordPress. WordPress has more features than Joomla does, and the back end of the WordPress control panel is much easier to use. Those with no experience working on the actual programming of their site can get help from the WordPress support, which is available 24 hours a day. In reality, working with a website has never been easier, and, thanks to WordPress, you can get a website up and running with as little effort as possible.

Which WordPress Blog Can Help Make Money Online?

October 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment

By Nikki D. Felder -

When it comes to the ever so popular WordPress blogging platform there are noticeable differences and similarities to WordPress.com and WordPress.org. One thing is for certain and that is the premium quality of performance WordPress, in general, provides to bloggers throughout the world. This article will compare and contrast the dot com and the dot org of the WordPress blog and how each can be vital tools to making money online.

WordPress Facts

As you endeavor to make money online as a blogger it will become evident that a WordPress blog is a leader among blogs today! WordPress.com and WordPress.org are both owned by the same makers. The fine makers at Automattic are responsible for developing each blogging platform. What is even more impressive is the fact that both blogger software are absolutely free!

WordPress Themes

The theme of my blog, your blog, or even a national corporation’s blog compliment the driving message of the website and can be compelling to website visitors or even a turn off. The raved about WordPress blog themes are varying in color, function, style, and price to suit your fancy.

A disappointing difference between the two mediums is that WordPress.com does not allow themes to be uploaded to your WordPress blog. While a user has to access to hundreds of free themes WordPress and various developers make available, they are not afforded the opportunity to install a chosen themes for their WordPress site. This may be a bit troubling as new themes for WordPress are readily available or one can even custom make a theme WordPress compatible!

WordPress Website Expenses

Often times it may be inevitable having to spend money when trying to make money. While WordPress.org allows a blog owner to upload and customize a WP theme, on this blog one must have web hosting in order for it to be made public online. This is a necessary expense for this WordPress blog site and can run from $7 – $12 a month. Furthermore, the downloading and installation of WP.org onto the hosting account may be a tad intimidating to some.

Blogging to make money with WordPress.com has no web hosting expenses associated! This blog is ready for use once an account is properly verified.

WordPress Plugins

A WP plugin is simply an add-on to the existing software that compliments the function of the WordPress blog and enhances it is some fashion. Some plugins fight against spam or even back up your WP blog.

WP.org gives blog users the option of applying plugins whereas WP.com does not. One of the more preferred plugins for bloggers seeking money is All-in-One SEO Pack. This plugin allows the content to be to optimal. Another plugin is ShareThis which installs social media buttons on the blog. These two plugins are an added benefit to the WordPress blog experienced at WP.org. Unfortunately, WP.com does not have plugin capabilities.

WordPress Money Making Possibilities

Blogging and affiliate programs or cost-per-action programs are a winning combination! Google AdSense is a favorite affiliate program of bloggers. Bloggers’ web traffic reward them with money whenever they click on a Google AdSense advertisement which are throughout the blog post. Sadly, Google AdSense cannot be included on the WordPress.com platform. Furthermore, direct affiliate links or affiliate banners cannot be featured there either.

You might wonder of the practicality of WP.com if you cannot utilize it to display money making connections. The dot com WordPress blog can be a weighty backlinking arsenal for any blogger wishing to make money online!

Knowing that WordPress is search engine optimization friendly and indexes rather expeditiously, not being able to link to affiliate products and so forth should not discourage money seekers in using this fine tool. Writing posts that pertain to the affiliate product or cost-per-action form and then linking from that WP.com post to your website where the actual affiliate link or cost-per-action form lies is strategically fantastic!

The dot com WordPress blog can have do follow links which will serve as mighty votes to the search engine spiders. The more you use WP.com blog posts to link to your website indicates that your website is worthy of attention or to be listed on the front page of the search engine. Such a position should result in targeted website traffic. Ultimately, this traffic could convert into sales!

WordPress.org does allows the usage of affiliate links, Google AdSense, or cost-per-action opt-in forms. On this WordPress blog you can parade affiliate banners, advertisements, textual advertisements, and more. However, without backlinks a WP.org blog may not be effective. Whether a WP.com blog is used or some other form of backlink, website traffic and sales will result from massive backlinks.

So you see, WP.com is an easy blogger to get started and maintain. However, it has limitations with WP themes,lack of plugins, and cannot house affiliate links, affiliate banners, or cost-per-action forms. WP.org, on the other hand, requires maintenance is getting it started and maintaining it. However, can host affiliate products and advertisements like Google AdSense. While both WordPress.com and WordPres.org have many similarities and differences, when it comes to making money through blogging each has its own unique job and is essential to any money making campaign!

This author uses both WordPres.com and WordPress.org to make money online. Knowing a WordPress blog with the dot org can be trying at first, this author features a free 24 video WordPress tutorial on her website http://www.wordpresstutorial.moneywebsites.ws/.
