Blogging Software - 7 Top Reasons to Choose Word Press

If you are eager to create a weblog there are many kinds of blogging software to get you going easily and quickly. One of most popular is Blogger.com. However if you are serious about growing a professional business, I'd suggest getting a real domain name and hosting account. This could be compared to the days when many companies offered free hosting so you could set up your own web site. After a few years these companies went belly up and so did your site. It therefore makes better sense to start correctly otherwise you will only regret it later.

Here's some of the major benefits of using Word Press Blogging Software:

1. Easy to install and set up. If you have a hosting account which uses Linux servers they will probably have Fantastico. This is a tool which allows you to install Word Press within a few minutes from the cpanel that comes with your hosting account. Just make sure you have the latest version otherwise update your Word Press installation before you start customizing it.

If you are strapped for money and can't afford a domain name or a hosting account, you can also create a free account with Word Press.

2. Hundreds of templates to choose from. You don't have to be a programmer or even know html to start a weblog with Word Press. You can select from the three templates they provide at installation and you can easily switch between them. If you are not happy with them there are other sites which display Word Press themes and allow you to download them ie

RSSUnderground Editor's Tip! Hey - do you want to have a free hosted web site that you can use for anything you want?

3. Customization. The basic themes that come with the Word Press installation can easily be customized to suit your needs. There are 100s of plug-ins (http://wp-plugins.net/) which will allow you to alter the color, design, images, add contact forms, photo albums etc.

4. Great documentation and support forums. The documentation that comes with Word Press, covers almost every aspect of your Word Press Blog. If you get stuck the support forums are always quick to respond to your questions.

5. Creates automatic RSS Feeds. RSS or 'really simple syndication', is automatically integrated into Word Press so every time you create a post or make a comment it creates a feed for it. This allows those with RSS Feeders to read the post at their own leisure.

6. Easy organization. Most Word Press templates include pages, categories, links, and feeds. These are usually located in the sidebar but can be easily customized to go elsewhere. You can also add other features should you need them for your weblog .

Shutterchance Photo Blogging

A new company has been set up by four photographers dedicated to meeting the needs of photography enthusiasts seeking to showcase their work online without all the hassle of internet programming.

shutterchance.com offers a trendy photoblog hosting service. The minimalist design and easy to use interface combine to provide a stylish online platform allowing photography enthusiasts' to readily showcase their work. The focus of shutterchance is to create a community that helps photographers share and improve their work Whereas traditional blogs (i.e. web-logs) are online journals focusing on the text, a photoblog focuses on the image. These journals are intended to allow the author to express to the general public their situation at that point in time, and in the case of photoblogging always allow for the general public to comment back on the image displayed.

Photoblogs have become very popular recently and are enabling photographers to exhibit their work to a large audience. The commentary by other photobloggers motivates photographers to constantly strive to improve the quality whilst the expectation by the public to periodically post new photos ensures the photographer gets the practice.

shutterchance is a new photoblog hosting company, focusing its efforts on building a community and helping its photographers improve. It does not view its photographers as stand alone bloggers; it views them as part of the family. When new members sign up they are pleasantly surprised at the positive reaction they get from other members and the shutterchance team.

John Claeys, Director of shutterchance, says: "At shutterchance we have a team that is focused on our members. We have Jide Alakija, a renowned photoblogger, who plays an integral role in ensuring that the needs of our photographers are met. It is simply a joy to see different cultures getting together to comment on photographs."

Despite the idea only being agreed 4 months ago, shutterchance already has over 30 fully subscribed users based around the world from Alaska, through Brazil to Singapore, and even more users are signing up daily. With so many weblog services out there it is refreshing to have a different take on things. The shutterchance web site can be viewed at http://www.shutterchance.com
