If you are a blogger or a web page designer, then you might have probably heard of or used WordPress at least once. If not, then I cannot think why you can call yourself a blogger or web designer. It just so happens that WordPress is one of the most used open source software for these things. And the fact that this thing is free also puts a lot of reasons why it might be foolish if you have not heard of this tool online. But more than being free, it is what WordPress offers to the users that makes it a worthwhile tool to use and explore how to maximize it. Let us take into consideration some of the things that WordPress has to offer.
Themes: These are the templates where you can put your blogs or your web page. But one significant difference that WordPress offers is the ability to switch themes easily without having to change the contents of your page. Most other programs would require you to start from scratch when you want to change the theme of your page, but WordPress is simple, change the theme, but the content stays. You edit it as you would want it, no fuss, and no hassles.
Plugins: With about 60,000 plugins at your disposal at the current moment, it is not hard to understand why open source people simply love WordPress. So much variability, and it allows the user to deviate or develop more from what is in the core installations. It allows a variety of plugins to fit both your wants and needs for your webpage. The flexibility will really impress you, as it has already done for millions of the other users who have utilized WordPress for their websites and blog pages.
Mobiles: Of course, the world now revolves around mobile devices like the iPhone and android phones. It is expected that WordPress will have to evolve in a way that if can allow mobile users to use WordPress or add functions in their pages that allow mobile devices to edit, comment, post pictures and stuff through the use of their mobile devices.
There is more to this tool than meets the eye. What can you do with WordPress is up to you and it can only be limited with your own view of how to use this tool. But with all the different possibilities, you can say that WordPress is one of the most flexible ways to help create and develop websites and blog pages in more recent times.
