Regardless of what platform used to install Wordpress, there are certain features available across all. The consistency of features will amaze even the harshest critics of WP. Just a few available features, but certainly not limited to, are:
For advanced users, one feature which allows extreme amounts of flexibility is custom CSS. For those who don't know, CSS is an abbreviation for ‘cascading style sheets’. It is beyond the scope of this post to discuss all this entails however, the flexibility offered with this tool gives custom features site navigation and appearance.[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]
Another feature which bears mentioning is multi-author support. For those who have more than one administrator, levels of administrative access can be easily set up. An example scenario which makes such multi-author support essential would be sites which have multiple content contributors.
Further, extended functionality which we found particularly useful is the ability to set up an unlimited number of blogs and websites within one account. We don't separate these two to suggest that blogs and websites are mutually exclusive to one another however, the former suggests more of a hobby function while the latter, a revenue-generating business.
We have said unto nausea that the strongest feature of WordPress isn't necessarily the easy to use interface rather, community-based support from other website owners. Community is made up of individuals who typically share the same value system. That isn’t to suggest that there aren’t variations within those values which make each community member unique however, the WordPress community shares in common a passion for all things related to their beloved platform!
We strongly encourage new and long term webmasters to take part in the community not only to extract helpful tips but also, contribute useful suggestions and comments. Most see communities such as Wordpress, as something useful when a personal need or question arises but forsake giving back.
It is to those that we dedicate the rest of this post. There was a movie some years ago called ‘Pay it Forward’. The premise was that a good deed done for one should result in another good deed being done for someone else. Who could argue the value of returning good for good?
For those who at one time or another received great advice and helpful techniques which were later used in furtherance of their own Wordpress business, to pay forward the knowledge received free, for others.
As we close, please receive one of the most helpful bits of wisdom we received years ago: you already have the vision necessary to succeed using WP, however your vision must only be exceeded by your ambition and drive to realize that vision.
Using WordPress will not only help realize your vision but also, how do you, once successful, pay forward the knowledge and advice that was given to you?
