When you ask bloggers which blogging software tops it all – WordPress still rings the gong. Even when you go to Google and search for the keywords – top, blog, and software, the first link to appear is WordPress. To date, we will still see the number of Wordpress users increase, despite the introduction of other content management systems (CMS).
The best feature of WordPress and notably new to blogosphere is its filtering ability. In other blogging software, a reader can post any comment or message on the blog even when the owner is offline. This is a bit frustrating especially when you don’t want others to see undesirable comments. With WordPress, you will get notifications that a comment submitted by a reader is seeking your approval before it gets posted. Moderation eliminates unwanted posts that might give wrong impressions to other blog visitors.
Another important aspect that we observe from Wordpress is its user-friendly mode. It also has a range of functionalities where you can add, install and delete some plug-ins. With WordPress, you basically don’t need a web page developer to do the job because the software itself is very easy to use. It has a logical environment and structure that even an amateur blogger can design a layout of a page. It has even the ability to edit the CSS into a more personalized template with just a minimal fee – if you have sufficient knowledge in this area.
Perhaps, the edge that WordPress has bannered over other blogging software is the setting that allows you to ping – meaning, alert or notify – all blog feed directories every time you complete a posting. This feature tends to attract more readers and drives more traffic to your blog in no time. You may even have a lot of pages in your site that you can link in a single category, and those pages are most likely to appear in a higher result in search engines.
It is, indeed, remarkable to have all these blogging software features incorporated in software like WordPress. Neat, organized and revolutionized. It has everything that a blogger needs.
