New Website Update     posted on 16th of september, 2009

Right in the middle of updating my html/css website recently, I decided to go down a different path and create a php cms (content management system) wordpress blog. With my own custom css design. I was never trained in web design but I took to html quite well so I thought it couldn't be too hard. After nearly a week of online tutorials on how to do it, I was ready to give up. To top it off, many of the tutorials regularly reinstated in the article 'just how easy it is,' this didn't help.

I eventually figured it out somewhat, or enough to achieve what I was looking for. It's been a couple of weeks now and I am still fine tuning it, but I have already noticed the many advantages to having your own wordpress site (not a free one) over a standard html website. For example the wordpress cms system makes updating, managing, commenting and navigating far easier than anything else I had ever used. I have also used the code provided by dreamstime when you click on an image, to embed on categorized pages of my site. Not only does this help for browsing, I have also noticed through my stats that a lot of increased traffic coming from google image search for my images.

Have a look at my site at http://www.ptoone.com

CMS based website is always a better option over static websit. It allows one to edit, manage the content with lot of ease. Apart from, there are also other CMS works brilliantly like Drupal, Magento, Rails etc. I work in Drupal Development and trust me, it simply superb. Just try once. - posted by Sunny24m on May 15, 2012
