Bite-sized blogging tip on why blogs should be used for websites.

1. Blogs use CMS
(and why that’s so easy for you)

2. What is CMS?
CMS means Content Management This system is WordPress, which Once you’ve finished your new

webmaster.

3. It’s easy to create new pages too
The same system applies when creating,
writing and editing pages too.
It’s important to understand that although
posts and pages look and perform the same
in the CMS format, they produce different
results in your blog or website.

4. It’s easy to change how your blog looks
You can change the design of
your blog by adding in a ‘theme’
or template.
There are literally thousands to
choose from via WordPress and
elsewhere on the net.
It’s very easy to select the one
you like best and activate it on
your blog.

5. No need to worry about links and navigation
CMS also automatically creates new links throughout your
blog or website.
For example, a new page’s link will automatically appear in
the navigation bar on every page, without you having to
manually add it in.
And every time you publish a post its title is added as a link
into the sidebar’s list.
And unknown to you, each post is given its own page with its
own URL, another link automatically created in your blog.

6. No need to worry about writing code
WordPress sorts out all
the coding for you, and
allows you to add in
images and links within
your posts and pages
without you having to
understand how to write
in the coding language.

7. And it’s easy to add stuffinto your sidebar
CMS also makes it easy to place content
and interactive applications into the
sidebar(s) by merely dragging the
‘widgets’ into place and activating them.

8. CMS is designed to be easy for you to use
That is why I use WordPress because it is one of the easiest
content management systems available to create blogs and
websites.
And I also fully train my customers how to effectively use their
new blog or website once it is ready for them.
I don’t believe a blog or CMS website should be made too
difficult to use or edit, or have too much limited access.
And once it is explained properly with easy to understand
language using ordinary, everyday words, the new blog or
website can be fully integrated into your business’s marketing
strategies.
