This is my review i did of WordPress.com and my opinion of WordPress.com that i Posted on www.quora.com as my first review.
Let me know what your opinion is of my review. Feedback is greatly appreciated…even if you hate it, go ahead and tell me so that i can maybe improve whatever it is you dislike about my review in future posts so that i can refine my ability’s and hopefully become a better writer and reviewer.
WordPress.com is a free open source website that Features blogging tools and a content management system, CMS based on PHP and MySQL with tons of features including a template system,plug in architecture, and over 200 Themes that you can customize and in my opinion has the easiest Tools to build, Manage and design a blog and or Web Site.
WordPress.com is different from other blog hosting/self hosting company’s and websites. You don’t have to download software, pay for hosting, or manage a web server to use WordPress.com. Instead, you can focus on creating awesome content!
WordPress is a life saver for me being new to social media and new to the blogging community. It is free to join WordPress and to create and customize your own Blog but they do offer premium features such as premium themes and extra storage as well as the option to pay so that no ads are intruding on your posts and your blogs content…They don’t exactly get in the way of your content but it is certainly nice to not have any unwanted ads running on your blog (which is something I highly recommend you buy and upgrade if you are serious about your blogging and are particular and somewhat picky about the design of your Blog like I am. The Reason they display ads on your blog is because there Web site is free to use and to create your own blog and to post and manage your own content so they have to make their money to keep everything up and running somehow and this is one of the ways they do that. They have tons of other features as well including upgrade packages that are designed to save you money on bundling up on the upgrades.
I am a Writer, a blogger, and a book reviewer who loves to read books and document my experience and journey as a new writer and an aspiring author. No other Web Site that I have come across is as easy to learn and become fluent in as WordPress and no other open source Web Site for bloggers is as simple to use.
A huge advantage I believe WordPress has over other similar Web Sites and company’s who host blogs is that they actually care about there members and customers in my opinion and they set out to help them as much as they can and to create articles explaining each feature and answer every question thrown at them in the forums section. The Posts they have explaining how to use each feature and each widget have remarkable readability and teach you how to do some pretty complicated things in a simplified way that you can easily understand with no blogging or Web Site building or coding experience what so ever.
I will always love WordPress and it’s Employees simply because they truly CARE about the bloggers and Web Site owners and they want to make everyone’s experience as good and efficient as they possible can without any complicatedly impossible Tech Terms or Hoops to jump through. I Highly recommend WordPress if you are thinking about making a blog or Web Site because you simply won’t find a better company or platform that is totally free to host your Blog and or Web site that has easy to understand instructions and a Team of highly trained professionals ready to help you in the forums,over the phone and on Live chat services, or by email.
