Your take on WordPress?

Shawn Hogan (DigitalPoint owner) has told about the bad wordpress back end and we at Canober also developed our own blogging system.
Wordpress has a lot of support and themes, but you'll find out what happens when you get a lot of visitors at once.

 

I never had a problem with wordpress but I also never had to deal with the digg effect.

 

WordPress has been VERY good for me. My permalink structure has got me at page 1 for my targetted keyword in less than 2 weeks. I receive loads of traffic (today, there were 500+ people on the website at ONE time), but it didn't crash, nothing.

Brilliant system according to me.

 

Wordpress has been an absolute godsend to me for SEO. Most of my traffic comes organically from Google and I'd have to give most of the credit to Wordpress' SEO friendliness and for its easy-to-work permalink structure.

 

I am using wordpress for my all six sites and it's working amazingly very fine. It has all plugins which i want to be in my site.

I mostly like pinging service to search engines about new posts.

 

I'm in a situation, where I want to use WordPress, but I like the in the package seo and furl by Movable Type

 

never had any issues with WP untill today,
i upgraded and it went bonkers! .... still waiting for support to help me out!

anyone else having issues with 2.6 or 2.6.x???

For being free software. Wordpress if by far the best blogging script available.

I use it on all of my blogs. Never had a problem yet.

WordPress has worked fine for me till now. I have never faced any problem with my blogs.

 

I think you are wrong, wordpress can take on most of the heavy stuff out there.

 

Ive had no problems with wordpress so far, touch wood...

 

I've never had a problem with wordpress and recommend it to people everyday.

 

wordpress is great, lots of plugins and themes, easy customization. I don't have huge traffic so i don't know that part, but so far its been good. Let me hit digg's front page someday then will find out if WP has any problems like that.

 

Shawn's post is from 2006.

I'm pretty sure the Wordpress back end has improved since then.

 

My categories went bonkers...in one of the sites that I upgraded to 2.6.2

Posted it in the blogging forum too- but nobody's replied yet.

 

The Digg effect is a killer for all sites. I dont think you can leave it down to Wordpress.

 

You've posted up an article from 2006 and Wordpress has moved on a lot from then.

Seriously, Wordpress is considered the best free CMS out there. It's very well written and adaptable to all sorts of needs.

 

• Free!
• Supported!
• Plugins & Themes Galore
• Easily Customized
• SEO
• Easy Install Fantastico or Not

I'm sure I missed some other Good reasons to use Wordpress. Regarding the issue with it handling a Digg blast...There's probably a plugin to optimize it for
performance
