Blog May Be The Best Way To Manage Content
Personally, after making and running various websites for years, I think I have come to a conclusion that blogs are the best way to go.
Not using a content management system means that you have to manually update pages. While it may have some advantages, I find it just results in having old pages that rarely get updated.
Search engines love fresh content, and blogs give them that. Users love fresh content, and blogs give them that. The great thing about the blog is that if you use it as the entire site, your homepage is high-traffic and always fresh. Luckily, blogs also organize the content into categories. These categories are also fresh, since they list the posts from newest to oldest.
Additionally, blogs have the option to create single pages too.
What do you think?

I am new to having a website that I keep up, and I just started a blog on natural healing. But, I have been reading on the subject quit a lot and I think you are probably right. Right now my blog has a static home page, but after what you say here I am probably going to change that. Also, I am having a problem with wordpress static home page that I can’t figure out that the change would solve.
I am also going to be creating a selling site that I may do with wordpress, I found a hack to help with that. Problem is I don’t understand the hack! Still lots to learn.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Blogs are good way of managing content but they can be quite blend at times. To create traffic, sometimes the web-design does make a lof of difference. I have try some low budget hosting package that comes together with a content management software at an affordable. It’s worth a try. Let me know if you are interested. I can provide you with links.

Totally agree. I’ve been doing this for years, and I’ve only recently begun to appreciate the power of WordPress as a CMS… Back in the day, I would use “Mambo.” Today, I believe WordPress really is the way to go. It’s easy to use, easy to template, and has a virtually limitless supply of plugins.
