When I was searching earlier today to study the process as well as available options and costs for online classes to extend my MBA in Information Technology, I noticed that most of the websites found in my google search are actually wordpress based. Then after some further researches, I found official up-to-date statistics from 2012 that wordpress is used by 72.4 million clients worldwide. So this is a good basis to write a post for an educational use of wordpress.
For all who still do not know what wordpress is, here some lecture and articles about wp blogs:
- WordPress – Content Management System
- How to manage a WorPress Blog
Furthermore, I noticed that most education blogs have a very “light” design, meaning they are all very white and simple color designs. News and articles are presented to the reader in a magazine style format. These magazine themes are typically similar and great to feature specific articles in a separate news window up-front and well presented in front of the reader when accessing the website. Such designs are called “Theme” and wordpress supports thousands of free themes available to download. Internet bloggers can even use theme builders tools to create their own theme individually and on their personal needs and the third option is to get a premium theme for educational blogs.
