WordPress is significantly different than when this post was initially posted last year. Back then, WordPress had a small bad rap by being thought of only as "blog" software.
That was soooo limiting to the correct strength of WordPress in the past when WordPress arises, thank goodness, and the discussion has been pretty much left by such negative verbiage. Here we are in spring of 2018.
Still nowadays, after each one of these years, we use WordPress for the complete Here Next Year website-including the weblog portion. Yes, the website you`re on right now is using WordPress. You`re in the blog area where this specific post has commanded a #1, # 2, or # 3 search placement on Google since about 20-minutes after we printed it 7 years ago for the phrase "Why WordPress." Therefore much for the the idea that blogs get pushed down after time. Go to the main pages of this site showcased in still, yep, the most effective navigation and WordPress.
