It all falls back to Wordpress

Over the last few years I’ve played with a number of different blogging platforms - either for Up Your Ego or another short lived new media concept - but it always falls back to Wordpress.

I’ve played with Blogger - in fact I started with Blogger long before Google took over - I used it exensively and built themes from scratch for it but it was limited.

I’ve toyed with Movable Type, I’ve played with Drupal, installed and set up Joomla and at one time or another done much the same with the vast majority of platforms - I even built my own once (although it wasn’t very good).

But after all of that I still came back to Wordpress, I still use Wordpress extensively and will still tell anyone that asks to use Wordpress as their first port of call.

Why? For many reasons - it’s brilliantly simple to use and set up, it’s incredibly expendable without more than a hint of coding knowledge (even less with widgets) and can go the other way and be so complex you can make it perform almost ANY trick.

It’s this flexibility and range of abilities that makes Wordpress the best blogging and CMS platform out there.

Even Leo Laporte - he of trying everything new that comes out - has gone back to the ‘Press.
