10 Reasons Why Bloggers Need WordPress

In this age of the Internet, blogging has become quite the trend. People
are able to share many things thanks to blogging, be it information on
news and current events, reviews and thoughts on the latest gadgets or
movies, or even simply just treating it like an online diary, writing
down whatever comes into mind or whatever that person was up to, for all
to see. WordPress is one of the most popular blogging tools available
and here are 10 reasons as to why bloggers need it for their blogging needs:

1) It's free. WordPress is open-source and is free to use. Meaning
that there's no problem when it comes to costs for having or maintaining
a blog, because you don't even have to pay for anything at all.

2) It's easy to get started. It only takes as much as 5 minutes to
setup your own blog with WordPress. Furthermore, once you spend more
time using WordPress, you'll be able to easily make a quality blog in a
few hours or so.

3) It's easy to manage. Most sites require extensive knowledge of
HTML to create and edit a webpage. WordPress makes it easier to do that
by letting simple changes spread out to the entire blog. This gives you
much more control in managing your blog.

your blog in any way you want by giving you access to different
templates. It lets you stylize your blog the way you want it to look.

plugins that lets you add things like photo galleries and maps. Not only
that, you can add them to your blog without having to change the core of
your blog.

6) It lets you add things on the go. A free app is now available for
WordPress that can let you add anything to your blog from anywhere. This
includes pictures taken with smartphones and anything you add using your
iPad.

7) It has automation. WordPress makes it possible to set tasks that
can automatically activate on a certain time thanks to a time-stamp
scheduling system. It makes it possible to accomplish things without
having to do them yourself.

8) It has a good community. A lot of people use WordPress because of
how easy it is to use and manage. Thanks to that, it has amassed a
community that's easy to ask for help in case you are having difficulty
with your blog.

9) People can easily access your site. WordPress is a hit in search
engines such as Google because of how popular it is. Because of this,
your blog can easily garner a huge amount of views, making it the ideal
blogging tool.

10) WordPress has very good support. Automattic, the company
responsible for WordPress, takes very good care of their product.
Despite WordPress being open-source, it is easy to make their blogs
secure and protected from anything that can compromise them.

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

On-page search ranking factors are those that are entirely within the website publisher's control. In other words, it's the content you place on your webpages. Content: You must keep your content fresh with regular updates on all pages. When other sites link to yours, your website shows up higher in search results.
