Those who are a regular visitor of my blog I News India or Tech Acid are surely aware of my addiction towards WordPress. It is not that I don’t like Blogger but I usually say them quite user friendly as well. But then there must be some reasons why I am so deeply addicted to it?

Top 7 Reasons why you should Use WordPress?

Let me explain the reasons why I love WordPress over Blogger or any other blogging platform. If I will say that it is free, then you all will laugh on me, as mostly other popular blogging platform and tools are also free. So being free is not a criterion which solely makes me fond of this powerful CMS tool.

Then, what?

You must be wondering after all why I should use WordPress. And believe me if you are reading these lines, you are quite interested in knowing the reasons. So without wasting much time, let me directly come to the reasons why I love WordPress over any other blogging platform:

Powerful yet Simple CMS

It is undoubtedly true that WordPress is one of the most powerful, open source, and simple CMS (content management system) tools. It is so powerful that you can even develop an online business website too through it, and you can also be able to develop a simple blog.

On the other hand it is so simple that even your father who hesitate in using smartphones, can also use it. I must say that if you know how to write an article on Microsoft Word software then you can easily able to manage a WordPress blog or website too. It is that simple.

If anyone asks me for a website or blog, I always prefer to develop it through WordPress, as it will develop a product which their owners can easily be able to handle it. Ask some of my friends who are on WordPress these days after my suggestion: Shweta Dave, Rekha Mishra, etc.

So if you want to develop a blog or website for yourself, or for your business, or for your spouse, you can simply create a website through WordPress which you can easily control as well 🙂

Easily Control Look and Feel of Your Site

The next reason why I love WordPress is that you can easily control the look and feel of your site. Looks can be controlled through the variety of available WordPress themes in the world of web. You can either go for it for free as well, while you can even get a customizable theme for a mere cost of around $5 to thousands of dollars as well.

Look and feel of your site can be easily changed by the click of your mouse. And then you can easily customize it to make your site stylist and powerful through different options available through themes.

If you ask me I always prefer having paid or premium themes. One of the reasons among so many others on which I can write a blog soon, being the coding of such themes are quite simple and loved by search engines. And my recommended themes are from My Theme Shop.

Easily Add Functionality

Do you all remember one recent blog post of mine on how to transfer a wordpress.com blog to self hosted WordPress? Do you remember that I mentioned the name and issue of a blogger friend of mine in that blog?

It is one of my friends Shwetabh Mathur, whom I suggested to upgrade his blog to WordPress from Blogspot, but he rejected the idea. And then he wanted to install the Mega Menu types of feature which I use on my blogs, but unfortunately Blogger don’t allow adding you much functionality. Thus he had to compromise on this.

Why should a blogger or website owner compromise on some functionality?

One of the best benefits which you can get with WordPress is that you can easily add functionalities with plugins. WordPress has a very wide range of plugins available which you can use anytime for your blog. Though you should remember that using so many plugins might restrict your website as well, so be sure to select the best plugins only for your site.
