I'm seeing more B&B websites that appear to be a blog format. Can someone tell me the pros and cons of this? Is this something that's being pushed by WordPress software?
That's what I'm talking about in WordPress. They kind of have the appearance of a website, until you look closer. A friend of mine went that direction with a new domain name and all. The old domain redirects to the new one. Didn't she lose all her web history love? Also doesn't seem to have a lot of SEO stuff in the new one and I don't see her using the social media feature. hmmmmmmm........ Plus, it doesn't look so great imvvho.I have seen some fantastic layouts in wordpress, very nice, so much easier than a proper website. Are websites going the way of directories now? Printed directories gave way to online directories and so on and so on.
You have given us food for thought Samster. Maybe we should change out blog layouts a bit and make them more website-esque and see what happens? BOOK NOW buttons and all that, instead of just images and links to the website to book a room. BOOK NOW in every blog article.
You have created a monster...look out!
PS Google still gives more credence to websites, however...but something for another time....

It depends how the redirects were set up. They can be done to preserve most of the history and link love, but most people don't do it correctly so in most cases it is lost, which is a shame.Samster said:...

See I am with SWIRT on this. Wordpress can make a really nice website. You just have to do it right..and in the case we know...it was not :-(That's what I'm talking about in WordPress.

What about the security issues? I've heard that there is a problem with people hacking into wordpress sites/blogs.Despite what some companies have claimed lately, yes a well set up Wordpress site can function very well on its own and still ahve a blog section. Emphasis on well set-up. There is some tweaking that needs to be done to get what you need out of it. The basic architecture as a content management system is pretty strong and can be modified to suit specific needs. I consider it a very viable option..

You have to stay on top of new security downloads, just like you do on your own computer or antivirus software.Breakfast Diva said:What about the security issues? I've heard that there is a problem with people hacking into wordpress sites/blogs.

I think there has been a little added hype on that end of things. I've seen lots of sites get hacked. Traditional construction, Wordpress, home-brew content management systems...Breakfast Diva said:What about the security issues?
