Building Websites with WordPress and SEO in Mind
If we talk about building websites, using WordPress is perhaps the fastest and easiest way to get content online fast. There are numerous WordPress plugins to choose from along with great themes and widgets for WordPress. SEO plugins and widgets that add meta tags and site maps help to get new sites indexed fast, something that everyone who is building websites wants to see. I am a big fan of WordPress and have attended several WordCamp conventions. On the Web Development Blog as well as on FinalWebsites.com, I share information about using WordPress to build websites, how to customize WordPress Templates and WordPress SEO. This is also where I share several bbPress plugins to include a forum on your WordPress site and tips for bbPress SEO.
