When you have a business, it's usually a good idea to also have a blog that goes with it. You need to make sure that you take the time to find the right blogging platform and create a blog that speaks to your level of knowledge and experience within your industry. If it's not informative and interesting, after all, no one is going to read it. Of course, before you get to that you have to choose how to set up your blog. For most people, WordPress is the obvious choice. This is a painfully easy blogging tool that lets anyone create a blog, regardless of their skill level or knowledge of HTML and other development tools.

WordPress is the preferred choice for many businesses because it is ready as-is, or it can be customized with a variety of different plug-ins. If you're considering this platform for your own blog, here are some of the pros and cons to keep in mind.

Pros:
-Wordpress is easy. If you can send an email, you can blog on this platform.

-There are a lot of plug-ins that can allow you complete customization of your blog without much effort at all.

-WordPress uses the same SEO benefits with pages and posts alike.

-Your WordPress page can have subpages, allowing you to better organize your content.

-If you outsource blogging, most bloggers can handle WordPress in their sleep.

Cons:
-There is a possibility of outgrowing this platform, even if it is rare.

-WordPress isn't the ideal solution for e-commerce needs.

-If you are producing in-depth content, this isn't the best tool available.

-This isn't one of the more secure options out there.

All in all, WordPress works. Most people will tell you that, despite the few disadvantages, this blogging platform is ideal for your business blog. It doesn't matter what you know about blogging or how much experience you have with creating anything online because WordPress makes it easy. A lot of companies, big and small, rely on this blog tool for their own blogging needs and find plenty of different benefits to doing so. Plug-ins allow you to change your blog into anything that you need it to be, making it a great starting point that can grow and change with your business.

It basically provides the perfect balance of everything that a business needs to be successful with blogging and creating 'blog-ified' websites that are more dynamic and interactive than traditional websites might be.
