WordPress Is A Machine, So Use It’s POWER!
When I first got started with WordPress, back when this blog was first started, I really didn’t know what many of the functions were or even what they did than what I do now! If I think about it though, it was because I was just a ‘newbie’ and was just getting started with WP. I would still say that I’m a ‘newbie’ even though others might think otherwise! (There was a lot of trial and error used, and I’m pretty good at learning from any mistakes made!)
I bet most of you would be shocked if I was to say that WordPress doesn’t just run a blog! There are many more things that you can do, and blogging probably isn’t even half of it! After visiting many different sites over the past 6+ months, it’s amazing to see what can be done! – One person I enjoy watching is Brian Gardner!
So what about the other things you can do with WordPress?…
- You can turn a normal site into one that’s managed with WP. Means you can easily ‘add’ a blog, but manage it all from the SAME WordPress installation. That in itself is pretty cool, and there are more and more internet marketers doing this kind of thing. (I’ve seen it!)
- Create some kind of community were you have many authors publishing content for your readers, informing them, and helping them. There is no need to setup multiple blogs for each author, all this can be managed from inside the one installation as well!
- Install, and activate some plugins in which you can turn a blog installation into a Review Site. You could even turn it into an article directory if you liked, people create these kind of plugins for the simple reason that they love working with WordPresss and want to do MORE with it!
- Plus many others!…
Are you starting to see the bigger picture here? This amazing content-management system really does live up to everyone’s expectations. It continues to be updated, and it’s always for the better. Many people have requested some features, and the WP developers are providing us all with them. Each time a new version is released, I look forward to seeing what new has been added. (Did I say I love WordPress? LOL)
In a matter of a few days, maybe even a week, you could see a site go from absolutely nothing to something all because of WP. Google loves seeing new content, but I also believe that they like WordPress. So are you thinking what I’m thinking?
Look at it this way, I’m happy enough to display that picture here on my blog! For the simple reason that it does what I want it too, and more!
Instantly change the look of your site, and give it a unique style, simply by clicking on a few buttons. While the basic one is as it sounds, with a little time you can have your site looking just as it would have if you decided not to use WordPress! For me, that’s a big plus, and therefore means it’s less to worry about.
So if your not using WordPress, then I ask you why not?! All it takes is for you to try it out and you’ll be hooked instantly. Well at least thats what I would hope happened, it basically did with me!

Go do it now, then come back and let me see what you have done! Just post a comment, and I’ll get something nice sorted out for you! You never know, you could be starring in my next post if you act quick enough. I absolutely love WP, and want you to as well! 
Mark, You are Right on!
If you want to make a website and are a techno noob like me….
Put up a Blog! It’s easy and you can manage it in really quick.
I really enjoy your info that gives inspiring IM people like me a chance…
Thanks Bro,

@ Al – Really glad that you’re enjoying things from me! As always, I try to be as helpful and informative as I can!
…Did I tell you all that I really love WordPress?! LOL
Thanks
Mark
You’re absolutely right Mark. Wordpress has gotta be one of the best open source software/resource you can use today.
Like you, I’m still learning and adapting to the many different ways you can use wordpress and I bet there’s still so much to learn.
I’m not that techie, but even I managed to install and change specific plugins and widgets etc with ease.
I like the look of your blog by the way and I’ve seen it grow from a small seedling to a great resource for all. Keep up the great work Mark.
Cheers,

I totally agree. Wordpress allows you to do so many things, (using plugins or coding) that you can create virtually any kind of site you want and make it uniquely your own.
@ DesDrec – Thanks for the comments and feedback, I’m looking forward to the WordPress 2.7 ‘launch’ and really can’t wait to see what it’s going to look like. I like what I’ve seen of it so far, and the features thats included look great.
It’ll be nice to see the day when some of the most popular plugins are actually built into the WP code itself.
@ Douglas – First of all, thanks for stopping by and posting a comment, I really do appreciate! You’re spot on with what you say as well, a few plugins for various things, a clean looking theme, any specific coding and bamm, a site you can build using the ever popular WordPress software!
Thanks
Mark
