Fully integrated into Web 2.0

Well, although other blog systems and online alternatives can ‘plugin’ to social networking outlets, a self hosted WordPress blog can do it like no other, and prior technical knowledge is definitely not required!

It’s open source meaning its free, continuously updated and has an extensive support community should you get stuck and are ready and able to wade through the myriad of forums to answer any issues or questions that may arise.

Simple and easy to maintain

It really is simple and straightforward to get going and start blogging. Anyone, and I really do mean anyone can do it, once you pick up some basics titbits you can build on your blog, and go out and fully market your site, either do a little research and set it up from scratch and get rolling, or heaven forbid find a web hosting provider that has WordPress setup as one of its hosting packages and off you go!
