First and foremost Wordpress is just way too easy. I can buy a domain name and have a website up in a matter of minutes not days. With fantastico or simple scripts you can automatically download everything you need and be off and running. It really is just push button easy to have the site downloaded into your cpanel without any knowledge. No HTML code or using an editor and uploading, it is just easy!

The second reason is the fact it is open source. What ever I think I need I find with a simple word search. There are more plug-ins and widgets than anyone can ever use. Go to the wordpress site and you will find an endless list of upgrades. Since it is open-source you can also get really cool designs. This site was free to download and I have about twenty other ones I like if this doesn’t work out. It really is like an endless supply of templates.

Search engine Optimization! You can get a Wordpress blog ranked in a matter of hours if done correctly. It really is a lot easier than a static website because Google loves these blogs. It is also easy to post new stuff so the spiders are constantly going to your site which helps rankings.

Interactivity is the final reason I use Wordpress. My clients can come here and leave comments and become an integral part of my blog. A static website just doesn’t give you that same feel. It is really nice to be able to post something and have people comment instantly on the topic. It is much easier to build up rapport this way.

those are just a few reasons I use Wordpress. There are a lot more and I would love hearing what those are!
