WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, Web standards, and usability. It is both free and priceless at the same time. WordPress is completely customizable and can be used for almost any type of Web site.
There are three different Wordpress theme types, Free, Premium and Custom. In this article, I summarize each type, pointing out their pros and cons.
High speed Internet connections are not a worldwide standard yet, so people not using a high speed connection have to spend more time to search for and to access information online. A Web site which loads fast will help a great deal when trying to reach users with a limited Internet connection.
When searching a Wordpress Web site, the default results will include all relevant posts and pages. For some Web sites, you might want to omit the pages from the search results, just displaying the relative posts. Making this happen is quite easy.
Like any other Web site platform, your Wordpress installation might contain some folders and files that you do not want search engines to index. Several of the standard Wordpress directories, and the login page, do not need to be indexed by any search engine, so use a robots.txt file and exclude them.
Producing content is essential, and so is promoting it, so don’t leave yourself open to attack. Securing your Wordpress installation should be a top priority for anyone publishing online content, and can be done with a little investment of your time.
