WordPress Rocks!

I’ve been installing WordPress on a number of sites in the last couple of months. I am so impressed with how WordPress is set up. The admin area is very intuitive. Themes are very easy to set up, install and create. I’ve also found it very easy to take the existing design of a site and incorporate into WordPress for a blog (my site being one of them).

The other thing I love about WordPress is that it is not just a blog. It can very easily be used as a Content Management System (CMS) without any blog capabilities. And again, I find the admin area far more intuitive than solutions like Mambo or Joomla.

Since there is such a large and dedicated community for WordPress, plugins are plentiful and of high quality. All in all this a great program and good solution for many web applications.

    Hi, that’s a great tip – thanks! The site I have here is my first one based off of WordPress but I’m a bit overwhelmed… I can’t believe the sheer number of themes and plugins out there! But I’m slowly getting there and it’s starting to take form. I’m guessing that installation and setup won’t take forever next time. Anyhow… nice site – I’m subscribed to your RSS feed now so I’ll check in more often!

    And WordPress just keeps getting better. Now you can install themes and plugins right from the admin area. You can also upgrade the site from there too. Awesome program.
