\"wordpress-logo-notext-bg\"I’ve been really impressed with WordPress<\/a>. I first installed it about a year ago, in preparation for heading off to Africa. I wanted an easier way to update this site, and chose WordPress (for no particular reason… I also considered MovableType<\/a> but for whatever reason ended up installing WordPress).<\/p>\n

In the past year I’ve gotten to know the platform much better – and it continues to impress. It is incredibly easy to upgrade, install plugins, apply new templates, and modify those templates to your own desire.<\/p>\n

Compared to other software that I’ve installed to manage websites, this is a breeze.<\/p>\n

I’m equally impressed with the development community that’s out there supplying these add-ons.\u00a0 There’s a plugin for just about anything you can think of, which is great.\u00a0 Mostly I use plugins to control various aspects of the page design, and what shows up on that right-column over there.\u00a0 Recently though I’ve been playing around with a few others – among them is Zemanta<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a little utility that, as you type, suggests inline images or links that you can insert into your post to make your content a little more rich.<\/p>\n

Another plugin I just installed is Disqus<\/a> – a utility that allows people to comment – and to do so without having to create a unique login just for this site.\u00a0 It’s a great idea – I hate having all of these 1-off logins myself so I’m glad I no longer have to ask others to create them either.<\/p>\n

When I think back to how I used to manage these sites 10 or more years ago, it’s just amazing where we’ve come.<\/p>\n
