WordPress

I found WordPress easy to sign up to and fairly easy to use. I think that blogs are a good resource to use on the internet – they are things that everyone can contribute to and access easily. Extra components such as RSS feeds and the easy search features make blogging great for anyone to read. WordPress, like most blog software, allows the poster store posts in different categories (as I have done). This is helpful in my blog for example, if you just wish to find out what I think about Web 2.0 tools.

On one review of WordPress (http://chronotron.wordpress.com/2006/01/14/wordpress-full-review/, Accessed Fri 17 Aug 2007 at 3.40pm AEST) the author in a review of WordPress mentions that layout and design of the site is not that impressive. I agree the design is not great; however, I disagree in that this is not a major issue when it comes to blogs. I think the content and media posted in each blog is far more important than the surrounding colours and borders etc. I guess though that this is a subjective opinion – some people are into colourful pages with fancy fonts, but I prefer to just explore the content when it comes to blogs.
