Why WordPress?

There are a lot of blogging services, website builders, and social networks out there. Why create your website with WordPress?

WordPress powers over a third of the web. It’s used by hobby blogs, businesses of all sizes, online stores, even the biggest news sites on the internet. Odds are that many of your favorite websites are running on WordPress.

With WordPress, you own your own content. Other social networks treat you as a commodity, and assume ownership of the content you post. But with WordPress anything you publish is yours, and you can take it with you wherever you’d like.

Whether you need a website builder to create your website, or a simple blog maker, WordPress can help. It gives you beautiful designs, powerful features, and the freedom to build anything you want.

Ratings and reviews

This application, WordPress, offers an invaluable platform for daily journaling or blog writing. Its user-friendly interface enables me to document my thoughts, memories, and experiences effortlessly. What sets WordPress apart is its ability to serve as a reliable repository for my recollections, providing a digital diary of sorts. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with memory challenges, offering a backup of cherished moments and insights.

In theory, this app could be wonderfully useful for bloggers on the go. The design, layout, and features provide everything I could want and need. Unfortunately, the reliability of the app falls short. I run into problems almost every time I use it. The whole app will freeze and crash any time I try to add more than a few pictures to a post, and what should take fifteen minutes ends up taking two hours. It is unbelievably frustrating. Editing on a mobile web browser is even worse, though.

I used to have a 5 star rating. Not anymore. This latest incarnation of the app is more bloatware. Slow to load, poor layout, overengineered crud. It's like the developers said: 'Hey, we have greaf stuff on our apps that people like and are fast, what if we turned a great product into utter refuse?! That'll bring in the users!" Seriously. I am even getting out of memory errors when trying to write a blog post! I'm sory, is 64GB RAM on a cellphone no longer enough memory to post text?!
