This article focuses on the benefits of the Wordpress publishing platform for beginners.

Wordpress is a great publishing platform that can be used to build a website or a blog. The great thing about Wordpress is that it can be used by beginners and advanced website developers. Wordpress allows beginners to drag and drop things called "widgets" in order to customize their website. It also offers beginners point and click customizations and an easy to use administrative user interface. It's true, Wordpress offers endless possibilities for beginners.

Wordpress was also built with search engine optimization in mind. It's one of the few publishing platforms that you can simply add content to and it takes care of much of your search engine optimization for you.

Here is a very small list of Wordpress functions that beginners will find extremely useful when creating their website.

1.) One click installation of templates
2.) One click installation of plug-ins
3.) Easy access to your HTML, PHP, and CSS files
4.) Visual post and page editor
5.) HTML post and page editor
6.) One click upload of media files
7.) Manage all of your content with ease
8.) Painlessly transfer your current blog to Wordpress

Though Wordpress gives you the option to play around with all of the code, it's actually not even necessary to know any code to make a great looking website or blog with Wordpress.

Since Wordpress has become incredibly popular there are literally thousands of people that specialize in developing Wordpress websites. This makes it extremely easy for you to find good developers in the case you need help building your Wordpress website. Also, since Wordpress is an open source software there are literally thousands and thousands of templates and plug-ins that are completely free to use and customize. Your only cost to use Wordpress is your domain name and your hosting which is typically around $80.00 per year. This makes it one of the most cost effective website solutions available today.

Wordpress can be used for much more than just a blog or plain website. You can actually use it to create an ecommerce store, classified ads website, a personals website, an article directory, a social networking website, and much more. Your imagination is your only limit when it comes to wordpress.

To conclude this short article, Wordpress does make it very easy for any average Joe to become a Wordpress profressional through all of the support forums and documentation available. Furthermore, I have always found the Wordpress community to be extremely friendly and helpful. So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and get a Wordpress blog or website up and running.
