Why WordPress?

WordPress is available as an add-on to a website in HTML, CSS etc. It utilises PHP and MySQL to make it efficient and effective. WordPress is great because the theme of the blog can be changed at any time with a variety of different themes to choose from. I like the current standard WordPress theme, known as Twenty Twelve (2012) and will be using this for the time being. I may change it at anytime, though.

WordPress also has a built in spell-check as well as making the administration of my blog much easier. I am currently leaving the BlackRabbit and WE Blog blogs the way they are and they will remain as my standard blogs, provided by my host. There may come a time when I change them also.

WordPress has also offered me much more in the view that millions of people use it, so it is well maintained. As well as that, Google Searches are more likely to stumble across a WordPress blog than they are a blog created by my host.

I have also now copied every single post from my old blog into my new blog, along with their time and date strings. On top of that, Blogger has finally been moved to this blog, so all my historical writings from when I first blogged in 2010, have moved here.
