Building wordpress Blog
Having your own blog isn’t just for the nerdy anymore. Today, it seems everyone—from multinational corporations to a neighbor up the street—has a blog. They all have one, in part, because the folks at WordPress make it easy to get one. but to actually build a good blog—to create a blog people want to read—takes thought, planning, and some effort.WordPress is a website building system originally designed for building web blogs. For those of you new to web building, a blog (web log) is simply a website with the content arranged chronologically (like a diary). Although originally designed for bloggers it is a very powerful platform for building standard websites. By a standard website, I mean a site arranged hierarchically around content themes in very much the same fashion a book is organised into chapters.

Basic Features WordPress was designed for content publishers rather than web designers and as such it is far easier to create/publish new content with WordPress than with conventional web building tools like DreamWeaver or FrontPage. If you are looking to build a professional easy to manage website then you may want to consider using WordPress.
WordPress offers many advantages when compared to the traditional such as:
Open Source (free) Easy to Use- Ideal for beginners and the not so technically minded
Built in Easy To Use Visual Editor Hundreds of free professional templates
Templates are easily customised Content and Layout are completely separated
Content creation and management done using a web browser
Look and feel easy to change. Easy to add extra functionality like voting, contact forms, sitemaps using plugins.
Uses PHP and MYSQL which are supported on almost all web hosts.
