WordPress is good enough for Matt Cutts ...

... but why aren't I using it?

Well probably for the same reason that Matt's using WordPress - it's what I started using and with about 60+ blogs it'll be too much of a ball ache to move them!

Well 1&1 now have WordPress configured for you. They say "what domain do you want a blog on" then you set a UN & PW and then you're away.

So, here we go. I set up a site about DVD Rentals and better get posting.

It'll be an interesting experiment as to the relative SEO-flexibility between the two as, to be honest, "on-page" seo is great with Blogger, but when it comes to managing the links and archiving it's not as good as I'd like.

I've realised that 1&1 don't publish the blog files anywhere obvious on your server so you can get to it via ftp. I suppose I better read them damn instructions!

So, does anyone have any tips using WordPress? Well I'm taking advice from WordPress-Supremo ;-) Jimbo who's using it to set up an Unfair Bank Charges website.

Wordpress is so much better than blogger once you get the hang of it. The plugins support is fantastic.

Let's look at a few of them.

Firstly, we have:

http://www.semiologic.com/solutions/sem-theme-pro/

It's expensive (well, it's £300), but it is probably all you ever need for wordpress - def worth a look.

There is of course Akismet - the most functional of the spamblockers out there - since I installed it in November it's caught around 800 spam comments and only 1 has got though to moderation!

You also have Adsense Deluxe

SEO Title

Ultimate Tag Warrior

And saving the best till last, Widget Support, allowing you to drag and drop items into the sidebar (if your theme supports it).

I've used blogger, Movable Type, b2, b2evolution, Graymatter and plenty other systems since I first started blogging in 2000 and this has been the best by far.
