Why Host A WordPress Blog?
Are you looking to host a WordPress blog? Did you know that WordPress can interact with Facebook, YouTube & MySpace saving time and money having to manage each individually. Did you know that you can customize both the front-end and back-end of WordPress to your heart’s desire?
WordPress is an open-source application that gets improved by millions of contributors (programmers) every day, just like wikipedia.org; the largest encyclopedia in the world with more than a million contributors (authors).
That means new features on a regular basis such as; streaming media players, shopping carts, mailing lists, gig calendars, message boards, comments, rss, and third party plugins for YouTube, Facebook, etc.
Best of all, because it’s open source, you can easily learn how to install your own features, customize your own design rather than hire a web developer to install them for you. If they made a WordPress for Dummies book, it’s got to be easy.
