Why use wordpress?
WordPress is a free blogging platform, many websites are based on the Content Management system (CMS), in fact my animations just happens to be wordpress, we use wordpress because of three main reasons :
- Themes
- Plug-ins
- No Code Knowledge Needed!
WordPress is great for anyone that wants to start a blog or just a website, it has two main versions, WordPress hosted on your webservers or WordPress.com hosted blogs, the first meaning that you have complete freedom to access FTP, and upload anything you want because you own the website and the hosting, and the second option meaning that wordpress owns the site and you have no FTP access, domains are £17.00 a year and you have to follow the T&C’s of wordpress.
Themes
WordPress has 1000′s of themes available, these are available from the ‘Appearance’ section of the Dashboard under ‘Install Themes’, this is wordpress’ library of themes, most of these are free but if you want your site to have a unique look you can buy one from a theme creators website such as Studio Press or Woo Themes, most of studio press and woo themes wordpress themes are for purchase only but there are the off Free Themes available, The second way of getting a unique looking site is to make your own theme, for this you will need knowledge of PHP, HTML and CSS, this is a harder path to take but it means nobody will have the same design & you own the theme completely.
Plug-ins
Plug-ins are a way of adding custom items to your site, some plug-ins will add Widgets, some will add functionality and some will add UI Tweaks and Customisations, plug-ins are available from the ‘Plug-ins’ section of the dashboard, wordpress also has a library of plug-ins, most of these are free but few are to pay for, the best thing about plugins is that there are loads of them! plug-ins make your site unique and have even more functionality.
An example of a plug-in is that LightBox 2 plug-in, a image viewer that runs on top of the page when you click the image, it has a fancy animation that is coded in Javascript, to see more about light-box 2 click here.
No Coding Knowledge Needed
With wordpress everything is done in rich text editing, (unless you choose to edit in HTML mode), if you go to write a new post or page you can just edit like you would in word or pages and publish like that, there is no knowledge of websites or coding needed like other websites and web publishing platforms, wordpress is simple, the whole project is code free, but if you are experienced you can just jump back into the code at any time, for example if you want to edit a post in HTML mode you just click the ‘HTML’ tab, also if you want to make changes to a theme via the style-sheet or index files you can do so by clicking the ‘Editor’ in the appearance tab in the dashboard.
Wrap-Up!
I hope this has given you some knowledge about wordpress, if you are still wondering what it is then check out the wordpress website! it has loads of information on the CMS, if you would like to download wordpressClick Here!
Notepad++ , Every Coders Best Friend
If you find yourself needing a free coding application that has the potential to make anything, notepad++ offers a text editor for every programming language, the best feature about it is that is completely free!
Unlike some text editors, notepad++ offers a simple interface with an amazing text editing experience, for editing html it will automatically adduct lines for you to make sure your html has clean formatting, np++ will also highlight tags once complete, making sure you know what tag you have ended, some things that would take a few seconds to complete are now instant, it may not seem like much but it does improve coding just because of the simplicity.
Unlike the regular notepad on windows pc’s, np++ has tabs, this means you will only need one application window, small things like this means you can spend more time coding than navigating through files and folders to find the code’s you need.
In notepad on windows there is no highlighting of tags, with notepad++ the tags automatically color code to show you the errors or the tags you have created,
Just this feature will allow you to see your html clearer, this will mean you will be able to code with ease, making sure you don’t delete half a tag or make as many errors.
These are just some of the reasons to download notepad++, so what are you waiting for?
