WordPress Means Faster Indexing
Many people resist things they don’t understand and that’s how I felt about WordPress for many years. As I become more familiar with it and saw what it could do for my marketing, I became a convert.
WordPress Is Search Engine Friendly
Search engines love WordPress and there’s a good reason for that.The WordPress developers worked with the search engines to ensure that WordPress would be easily crawled and indexed.Search engines are able to easily crawl and index your blog’s content because of that. All you need is good 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 the fastest way to get your blog crawled and indexed.Find as many pinging services as you can because a well pinged blog can mean many more 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 fancy widow dressing around your blog.The blog’s content won’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. Artisteer can also make themes for other popular CMS applications.Ever wish you could hide the sidebars completely or move them from left to right?Want to add some textures or glares? 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 click on icons to run other popular software programs, you can use WordPress.
