WordPress - Not Just For Blogging Anymore

By , About.com GuideMarch 9, 2009

Follow me on:

It's certainly no secret that I think the WordPress self-hosted platform is the way to go in developing a web presence for the real estate professional who wants to do it on their own and control the result. It's not the only way, and there are a great many solutions out there, including template websites. In fact, if you aren't willing to spend some time in educating yourself, and not ready to commit to posting a lot of great content, then these other solutions are for you.

For those who choose to take the WordPress route, a great article at Duct Tape Marketing points you to site design resources and custom templates. Just to show that I'm not shouting alone, here's a quote there: "WordPress is great blog software and, quite frankly, the tool I would recommend to run your entire site, home page and all. This site wide use of WordPress has become so prevalent that I don't really even refer to it as blog software, it's web presence, content management software with SEO built in."

Neil and single, I appreciate the comments. I haven’t found any better, easier and more effective platform for a real estate web presence than WP, so I’ll keep writing about it. Thanks again,

Jim
