1. Unlimited Themes and Plugins

When running a blog, you might get the urge to change its theme to match the type of content published. For instance, if you wish to talk about flowers, a flowery theme provides the exact design your blog needs to create the perfect atmosphere for your reader.

WordPress gives you the freedom to choose from among almost unlimited themes and plugins to make your blogging experience enjoyable and easily customizable.

2. SEO-Friendly

Blogging and SEO are inseparable. In order to succeed in blogging, there is no doubt that your blog has to rank highly in search engines.

Advertising agencies are known to decline bloggers using platforms such as BlogSpot. But, there is nothing that will make your blog earn trust more than having a self-hosted WordPress blog.

When it comes to monetizing your blog, advertising agencies will readily accept a WordPress install, hosted on your own domain, into their system.

Besides, most advertising agencies have launched dedicated plugins for WordPress blogs, making it a lot easier for you to monetize your blog.

Why Having A Vision As An Entrepreneur Can Help You Succeed Against All Odds

“The Eagle has landed.” Those were the immortal words that Neil Armstrong spoke when he landed the lunar module on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC.

So I never saw the moon landing till years later, when they replayed parts of it on television and I was old enough to understand what it meant.
