Former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli is generally given credit for saying “There are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies, and statistics” and then there is this Lifehacker poll- which doesn’t show the results- but says most of the geeks reading the popular blog think WordPress rocks.
They mixed 2 ides in this post- one on the best blog backend- and one on plug-ins- but we’ll forgive them (we just didn’t make the same mistake).
Lifehacker, the Productivity and Software Guide
In our recent web publishing poll, the overwhelming majority of Lifehacker’s blogger readers said that WordPress was the only way to get their words out to the world (so much so that the poll actually seems to have broken).
If you jump to the poll- the comments are helpful for learning too-
but, it’s our experience right now- that WordPress is the best for getting you to the top of Google- and that makes all the difference right now. If you are interested in having us come give a seminar to your group or organization- please feel free to contact us.
We’re not the only ones helping people discover web2.0 and the power of using a blog backend to get your message out- Debbie Weil is pushing her book “The Corporate Blogging Book” as a way to help CEO’s reach their markets.
The first chapter is available for download- and has the top 20 reasons why you should be a corporate blogger.
While we haven’t had a chance to read the book- we looked at the first chapter- and it pretty much says a lot of what we’ve been saying- except- we believe that RSS and Content Management Systems are the future of all websites- and that WordPress is the bomb (note- Debbie uses WordPress for her site).
She doesn’t seem to mention the power WordPress has for Google placement- which is another reason to use a blog to manage your site, but if you’d sign up for one of our seminars- you’d see that in action.
If you must insist on buying her book- here’s a link.
