Absolutely! WordPress is not just a good CMS It is the best CMS. Why?
If your WordPress website is hosted on WordPress.com and it is a private blog, then yes, WordPress does count your own views in your WordPress stats.
Yes, all free WordPress.com blogs will contain ads. You also have no control over this as well. Although WordPress does screen the ads for adult and illegal content.
If you are going to build a WordPress website from scratch, then obviously you do need coding. Especially a good knowledge of PHP.
However, If you just want to start a WordPress website, then you don’t need coding in order to create a WordPress website.
In this post I’m going to talk about some of the basic facts of WordPress, WordPress websites and how relevant coding and your knowledge of coding is to creating and running an awesome WordPress website.
When you download the WordPress CMS, it does come with many features upon installation and many more by just adding plugins. However, WordPress does not automatically come with an email address upon installation. You will have to set up your WordPress email with your web hosting provider.
Yes, WordPress can handle millions of users. In fact, some of the biggest websites on the internet today with millions and millions of users are powered by WordPress. But how?
Yes, WordPress does automatically compress images to up to 90% of its original quality. In the WordPress 4.5 update, this number was further reduced to 82% in order to improve WordPress sites for mobile users.
With the above being said, sometimes you either don’t want the image compressed whatsoever and to keep as much of the original quality as possible.
You may also want to further compress the image in order to have faster page loading speeds. The good news is both are possible.
Many words have been used to describe the WordPress ecosystem. One of the most common of course is freedom.
However, many underestimate just how flexible WordPress truly is. A CMS can’t get to be such a huge, open source platform without having some sort of flexibility built into it.
In fact, WordPress is so flexible that it powers about 40% of all websites on the internet today.
It is this flexibility that allows both programmers, coders and non-coders alike to create such great websites.
If blog commenting is a vital part of your blog on your WordPress website, then of course dealing with spam can become almost a day today chore.
Furthermore, if you are only using the free version of Akismet, then you are just barely doing the minimum.
The truth of the matter is, that the more comments that your blog gets, the more chances of nefarious links, use of bad language, etc. becomes more prevalent.
As a result, your comments section can turn into quite the sewer of your blog. A literal ghetto which can detract from your blog and website’s mission.
Keeping on top of bad language, links and bad words requires that you implement on your WordPress blog, a blacklist of words.
In this post, I will show you how implementing a blacklist of words and phrases can save yourself enormous amounts of time and effort while keeping your WordPress blog commenting section clean and constructive. But how?
WordPress, the CMS, does not censor. WordPress the CMS after all is simply a bunch of code put together as a framework to create themes as well as plugins.
Where you host your WordPress CMS website, however, is a different story.
