There are several reasons why we should all be using Wordpress as our CMS – Content Management System.

Wordress is an Open Source software, which means that can be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial blog without have to pay a single penny for it.

You don’t really have to be an experienced Webmaster to use Wordpress on your blog.   Today,  most of the hosting companies provide the ability to install Wordpress on your blog with a single click of the mouse.   Hostgator provides this through the cPanel with Fantastico.  The administration section is easy to navigate and it’s very easy to add blog posts/content to your blog.

You will never run short of theme templates when using Wordpress. If you don’t like the themes that come with the default installation of WordPress, you can search on the Internet and you’ll find thousands of free themes that you can download and use for your blog. There are themes which can even make your blog look like a regular website instead of a blog.

Wordpress plugins allow you to do just about anything that you want and can be installed in minutes. For example, if you want to automatically add affiliate links into your blog posts, just  install the plugin and you can easily add the links into each post!

Search engines have to be  kept in mind when building a blog. Wordpress uses functions which allow it to be search engine friendly.  You want to have good SEO – Search Engine Optimization.   For example, sending pings to other sites, making categories, tagging your posts, use of h1/h2 tags etc.  Wordpress makes it simple!
