3 Reasons To Use WordPress
Hi all. Let me introduce myself, I am Mike Paetzold and I will be a guest here this week as part of my Old Bald Guy’s Blog Tour. This is stop 3 of 8 so you can keep following me across the internet as I go from blog to blog.
Some call me The WordPress Guy and that will be a primary topic this week in my posting. Today I will start off with 3 reasons why I use WordPress. There are actually a lot more than three but three is enough for one post after all I will be doing 4 more here after this 
.
Reason #1 – WordPress is and can be extremely SEO friendly
Now what that means in layman’s terms is that Google loves WordPress blogs. If Google loves them they are likely to rank higher. If they rank higher then you get more traffic.
That last part is the real bottom line in that you can get more traffic with a blog than you can with static web pages easily. There are a lot of things built into the software that would take a lot more work to add to a static web site.
Reason #2 – Themes and plugins
WordPress is open source and there are any number of themes available to change the look of your site. Some are free, others are paid and there are a large number of designers that will create themes for WordPress.
Makes it really easy to change the look to match what you are doing.
Then add in plugins which allow the basic script to do other things. This can be a way to expand tagging, make it more SEO friendly, create pop ups, fight spammers or almost any other thing that you might want to add to your blog.
Really easy to increase the functionality and with themes and plugins you upload a file and activate it. Nice and simple, even for Old Bald Guy’s like me.
Reason #3 – Easy to schedule
This is a very important one for me while doing this blog tour. It is actually Sunday morning and I plan to create all 5 posts for this visit today. After all this is a holiday week here in the US as we will celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday.
Now I love to cook and bake along with eating so you can be sure that on Wednesday I will be busy making cheese cake and pumpkin pie for dessert on Thursday. On Thursday itself I will be eating more than I should, then watching the various football games and napping.
So by scheduling the posts there will be a post here each day even if I do not log in at all.
What’s coming this week
During the visit I will be discussing making WordPress more SEO friendly, more interactive, finding posting topics and finally understanding what is working so you can do more of that. Talk more tomorrow.
