subject: More Reasons Why You Should Use Wordpress To Blog [print this page] The first reason and the most important reason is simply freedom. One thing that I hate in life is if I feel like I'm really being limited by something. I like to be able to do all the things that I want to do and be able to think outside the box and get creative.
You have the freedom to do so much with your blog and you just have so many different ways to customize your blog. From the way that you run your blog, to the way that you make your blog look to all of the different plugins that you can use to get more traffic, automate and do just about anything that you can think of to improve your blogging experience.
There are just so many different Wordpress themes that you can pick from. I literally looked at hundreds and hundreds of different themes before I choose the one that I want. Then after you pick the theme, you can do so much to customize and change anything that you don't like about the theme.
Another reason why I like Wordpress is yes it can seem pretty complex when you start out, but that is because it gives you so many options. Once you learn how to use it, it gets way easier. The best way to learn how to use Wordpress is to look at video tutorials.
You can find tutorials on Wordpress, but you can also search the web and find video tutorials on how to do certain activities on Wordpress. Video tutorials are great because you can actually see what a person is doing, step-by-step and visually see things.
It seems really daunting because there are so many things to utilize and so many different links to click on. The best way is to just learn what you need to use first.
Well, that sounds obvious, but some people will try to learn every feature, right from the start. You might not need or use all of the features, so just learn what you are going to use. I use a lot of features on Wordpress, but I still don't use them all. I just use the ones that I need.
Wordpress is well worth the extra time that you will put into learning it. You get the freedom to do just about anything that you want. If you aren't using Wordpress, I would definitely check it out for yourself.
