I have used wordpress for quite a while for this blog. It goes all the way back to September 2006. At that time I have only two choices for a self hosted blog, Movable Type and Wordpress. And damn I am glad that I picked Wordpress, it is a kicked-ass script that top all free and paid php script I have used so far.

Wordpress has evolved into a great php script. It is flexible with all the plugins, and it only gets better. On top of that you get tones of great free theme or you could purchase superb premium theme that is widely available.

Keeping it short and simple, here are the pros:-

• Great Themes
• Many Many Plugins
• SEO Friendly Permalink
• Easily Manage Sidebar Widget
• One click upgrade (no more heart attack when upgrading the script)
• Great user management for multiple authors blog
• SPAM prevention (not perfect, but good enough)
• Expandability
