Mad Blogs and Englishmen

Blogs are a well established and highly popular part of the online landscape allowing anyone to publish articles or “posts”, in a way that makes them easy to read and interact with. Initially blogging was regarded as an activity associated with individuals, a way of keeping a journal or record of thoughts and feelings around a given subject. But over the last 5 years or so businesses have been incorporating Blogs into websites as a means of keeping their customers and prospects up to date and encouraging them to interact.

There are many ways to Blog but for most “in the know” the favoured way to get involved is through the mighty WordPress. WordPress started life in 2003 as a simple blog engine capable of displaying a simple string of posts searchable by keyword, date, subject category etc.

Nowadays WordPress is a highly sophisticated and feature packed website creation system used by millions of individuals, businesses and organisations around the world. An incredibly diverse range of organisations use it including eBay, Ford, Sony, Ben & Jerry, New York Times and Tim Fifield.

WordPress is open source, which means that from the moment it left the brain of creator Matt Mullenweg a worldwide community brilliant minds have contributed to its development resulting in an awesome software so much bigger than the sum of its parts.

More and more I’m using WordPress to deliver client sites with rich interactivity, brilliant design and the most accessible code on the planet.

In short I love it, and more importantly my clients love it too.
