100 reasons why you should use wordpress

5. User Friendly
6. Hundreds of themes available so you can customize your site

16. Easy to install - either by Fantastico or manually using the "Five minute install" procedure.

I have heard the bluehost is the best and easiest company to use with wordpress. Any thoughts on this?

It can be easily automated!

Run, Forrest, run! Sorry, but I think you're better off using Notepad and FTP so that you can quickly upload a backed up version if you have to. It's not so easy to fix if you accidentally sabotage your site from within.

50. It makes membership sites creation easy

#?- Depending on your hosting company, it can take literally 10-15 minutes to set up a site, from purchasing the domain to having a full blown blog site up and running.

Can be used to intergrate Digg, Del.icio.us, facebook, Twitter, etc
and update all of them on one location.

Also pings the blog search engines to notify of new content.

It is in bed with Google so your site can rank high quite easily and fast.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

That's what I've been thinking since the this was posted.

However the original poster needs to understand that they DO NOT have the right to reprint ANYTHING here without the permission of EVERY SINGLE PERSON who made a post in this thread.

In fact, I WILL be watching closely, and am ready to take any necessary action.

We're not idiots.

That's assuming the worst, of course.

I will give the OP the benefit of the doubt, but not at the cost of apathy or complacency.

So, Fairuz now knows the potential problems of reprinting anything others have written. Let's hope for the best...that he posted for the right reasons and is really trying to help.

All the best,
Michael

Easy to learn plus plenty of tutorials plus everyone else uses it (<=plenty of support)

Of course!

No problem there at all.

LOL
