Why is wordpress so popular?

    Does anyone have any successful blogs? The template section is always filled with wordpress themes so I thought people must be making money of them. So how many blogs would the average person on here own that make money?

    Amount doesn't matter, quality does. Diversification of income is good, though, make no mistake.

    And WordPress is just the one that's most popular, it doesn't make it the best. That said, I enjoy the interface of it much more than other blogging tools, and find the implementation to be simpler than hell.

    Wordpress became popular because of the ease with which you can handle it to create and update a blog or website and it is free :)

    I have a couple of WordPress blogs. I found that Google loves WordPress. My posts are into Google database within 2 hours of submission. An average website would have to wait a few weeks before their pages enter the Google database.

    I'd suggest you use Cutline theme, written by Chris Pearson. it is awesomely Google Friendly.

    You can manage any number of blogs if time permits.

    Yes it is easy to use, you can read tutorials on their page for one day, and next day you are ready to roll your blogs.
