WordPress is, without a doubt, one of the most popular content management systems or CMS available today. More than 1% of websites operational on the Internet use WordPress as their CMS. Considering that there are millions and millions of websites online today, 1% is truly saying a lot.
The reason why WordPress is so popular is because it provides its users many benefits. Primary of these benefits is that WordPress is open source and free to download. You can tweak your copy of WordPress to make it work the way you like it, and you do not have to pay for using it at all.
But one of the greater benefits other than you do not have to pay a shilling to use WordPress is its functionality. Using WordPress can truly save you time whenever you need to update or make changes to your website. Any webmaster will tell you that the reason why you need to use CMS, be it WordPress or not, is to make your work on your website less time-consuming.
Personally, I have been using hosted wordpress sites since September 2008 when I my self education journey began. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to build relationships with fellow wordpress users building up my own little “WordPress Social Network” and to quote the old Mastermind Effect “when 2 minds come together a third is created” … well, let me tell you, my knowledge and therefore my income has tripled by doing this!
How can using WordPress save you time in working on your site?
Easy Installation
Unlike a lot of CMS software, WordPress does not take its sweet time to get installed on your system. WordPress is actually popular for its so-called five-minute installations. You can start working on your site using WordPress in nearly no time at all.
Also, if it is your first time to use WordPress, you would not find the user interface worrisome or intimidating. As long as you know how to read and how to use your mouse, you would be fine with using WordPress even if you do not have any technical knowledge to guide you.
Organised Content
There would be many times when you would need to update your website but you want your updates to go live on a certain, specific date. Do you store your updates on your hard drive or on a removable storage disk and wait until that specific date to upload changes to your website?
With WordPress, you do not need to do that. You can upload your website updates just as soon as you finish them, even though they are not supposed to go live yet. Just schedule it to go live on that certain date.
This is certainly helpful if you have a blog and you work on all your posts for the week on a single night. You can schedule your blog posts to go live when they are supposed to go live.
Spam Filters
One annoying downside to having a website is getting a lot of spam comments and spam email on a daily basis. There are even websites where the spam goes up by the hundreds. With WordPress, however, you do not have to waste time swimming through spam. WordPress has a default plugin called Akismet, which automatically blocks them.
Categorisation for Easy Searching
If your website is made up of many pages, you would not want to spend a lot of time just hunting for a particular item. Your visitors would not want to do that, either. The solution to this would be categorisation, and it is a function that can be easily used with WordPress. Categorising the content of your website would make searching for items or pages faster.

Hi Jodie –
I am 100% on board with you re. Wordpress – I have also tried plenty of different 'solutions' and self-hosted Wordpress (not the .com version) I am totally passionate about. SO many ways to customize and make these sites your own and once they're up and running (fairly painless as you say), they are not far off from operating a Word .doc – which is what makes them so super accessible I think.
Am enjoying your posts!
Appreciate you,
Andrea
Thank you sweet Andrea, I learnt something very important yesterday so will do a quick vid and share it soon.
Jodie,
Your blogging expertise, and your selfless desire to help others, is amazing and inspirational. Thanks for being you, for uplifting those who are lucky enough to know you, and for your loving nature. You are appreciated!
To Your Success,
Kathy Jodrey

Thanks for making me to achieve new concepts about pcs. I also possess the belief that certain of the best ways to keep your laptop in perfect condition is with a hard plastic material case, or perhaps shell, that matches over the top of your computer. These kinds of protective gear are generally model unique since they are manufactured to fit perfectly in the natural housing. You can buy them directly from the vendor, or through third party places if they are for your laptop, however not every laptop may have a cover on the market. Yet again, thanks for your recommendations.
What I have observed in terms of pc memory is the fact that there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must match the features of the mother board. If the computer’s motherboard is pretty current while there are no os issues, replacing the storage space literally normally requires under an hour. It’s one of several easiest personal computer upgrade procedures one can envision. Thanks for spreading your ideas.
Interesting article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, as well as the first ever entire global economic depression. Through all this the industry has proven to be strong, resilient along with dynamic, discovering new ways to deal with difficulty. There are generally fresh problems and the possiblility to which the industry must once again adapt and act in response.

Can I simply say what a reduction to search out somebody who really knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You positively know the way to carry an issue to gentle and make it important. More people have to learn this and perceive this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more standard since you undoubtedly have the gift.
I enjoy assembling utile information , this post has got me even more info! .
I have seen a great deal of useful items on your site about pc’s. However, I have got the impression that lap tops are still less than powerful sufficiently to be a good selection if you often do projects that require plenty of power, such as video croping and editing. But for website surfing, microsoft word processing, and a lot other typical computer work they are okay, provided you can’t mind your little friend screen size. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
