My Experience With WordPress

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

When I started as a blogger, I found it quite difficult to pick the platform for my Calcio blog. With a plethora of options available, it made me quite confused on choosing the one that would add simplicity in navigation for the viewers, and also add to its looks.

After going through a number of reviews from experts, I decided to opt for WordPress for my Serie A blog. Following one year of success on WordPress, I can surely say that I made the right decision.

There were certain features that made life quite easy for me with WP (WordPress):

Themes

When it comes to availability of affordable yet quality themes on the web, there is nothing compared to WordPress. I found a lot of magazine themes, which would have been perfect for the subject of my website. It took me a long time to come up with the 3-column Sports News Theme for my site, but the easy navigation feature in the theme has been one of the reasons why my website has a high Alexa Ranking.

Plugins

I had lots of plans for promotions of my blog and its visibility on the web. Due to the large amount of plugins available for WordPress, it became easier for me to get everything that I was looking for.

The wonderful All-In-One SEO pack made it easy for me to rank high on search engines. Apart from that, I also installed a number of other plugins for my website, which included the Social Networking Tool, Sitemap, Custom Permalinks, Top Post Widget, Twitter Functionality as well as Subscription Options.

Experts believe that this feature makes WordPress a standout amongst other platforms for blogging. Uploading these plugins was a simple process, as I already had Core FTP available to me.

Spam Comments were Reduced

With the presence of Akismet (a plugin), I found that there were very few spam comments on my website, even though it has a respectable position in Google Searches. According to my research, spam comments were one of the problems that most bloggers faced with their blogs. While this plugin greatly reduced spam, it was unable to completely eliminate the problem.

Even though WP and its plugins have undergone a lot of changes, it still continues to be of excellent service for me. Whether it is posting or including new tools, I am sure no other platform would have given me a better experience.
