"If you're using software like WordPress or PHPBB (What that hell were you thinking?)"
What exactly did WordPress have to do with his point?
Using WordPress for your entire product site makes a ton of sense for most companies. You can have your blog and your product info all on the same site. No subdomain blog. No separate SEO. It's simple to link the logo to the product, and have custom sidebars or after-content widget areas with a call to action. Your blog is part of your site, and feeds traffic to your product. Everything integrated. Easy to use. What's his problem again?
- michaelt 14y agoI assume he's referring to PHPBB there, which would be an odd choice for blogging software as it's forum software.
- westi 14y agoOwen wants more people to use Habari instead. Habari was started by a group of ex-WordPress developers - http://asymptomatic.net/2007/01/09/29/whats-up http://asymptomatic.net/2007/01/09/29/whats-up
- ringmaster 14y agoPlease don't misunderstand. If you want to use WordPress that's great. My "What were you thinking" comment refers to PHPBB only, which I've seen used more than once for the primary blog for a startup. I'll use more commas next time or something. That said, Habari is also a good choice for a blog. ;)
- westi 14y agoCool. I completely agree that using PHPBB for a startup blog would be "strange".
