Wordpress has proven itself time and time again as the most useful and most equipped blogging platform around. It’s vast array of resources and numerous plugins that make changing the appearance, content and appeal of a blog as simple as pointing and clicking have catapulted it into the realm of one of the most commonly downloaded open source applications on the internet.
Wordpress Being Open Source is Vital
Open source programming is nothing new, but it has always been something special. The concept is simple; programmers build a working model for a piece of software and then hand over all of that code to whomever wants it, allowing other users to make changes or adjustments and build add-ons.

For Wordpress, this means that new additions and updates are available almost constantly, repairing bugs much faster than Microsoft could ever manage.
Wordpress Themes and Customization
Something everyone wants to be able to do is change the look of their blog to suit their personality.

Today lets talk about building Blog Websites. What are the advantages of Blog Websites over traditional websites?
Blog Websites VS Traditional Html Websites
Traditional websites are static content unless you add php programming, java script or some other scripting language to them to create a more interactive type of site. They are also harder to ad new content to on a regular basis. Wordpress blog sites are by nature more interactive allowing your readers to make comments on your blog websites. They are also easier to update. The whole purpose of a blog is to ad posts which become new dated content. You just go into the admin area and post or set up several posts for different dates so your blog websites are even more hands off.
