Almost everyone involved in the industry of designing and running web sites and blogs knows that one of the most popular and powerful blogging packages available is Wordpress.  Wordpress is a free software package, some hosts will even handle installation of it for you at no charge, that makes running and updating almost every feature of a blog a somewhat easy to do task.  Wordpress is the most popular blogging platform for a reason, it is usable by both newcomers to blogging as well as experts who have been blogging for years.  But as good as Wordpress is for running a blog which is updated frequently with fresh content, can it also be used to run a static web site as well?

The answer is yes.

With a few simple adjustments involving disabling the comments, editing the theme, and setting the homepage to be a page instead of a post, a Wordpress blog can be transformed into a Wordpress static site.  The site will not be a true static site, as the information will still be assembled from a database of pages, but it will have the appearance of a static site.

One of the nice things about using Wordpress for a static site is that it is very easy to edit, delete, or create new pages too.  You would just add content in the form of pages, instead of posts like for a blog, and the Wordpress software does the rest in assembling it into your website structure.   There is no creation of new html pages, no unnecessary using of an html editor or other web design software.  The Wordpress platform is all that you will need when it comes to any updating or maintenance of a static web site.

Using Wordpress for static web sites is not only possible, but highly recommended.  It makes the setup of the site easy and the editing and up keep of the site painless.  Also, if you are already into blogging, it means you don’t have to learn another design language or content management system, you can keep on working with a program you know.  Plus, with all the new updates in terms of the Wordpress software itself, as well as the continued development of quality plugins, using Wordpress for a static site is getting more and more attractive.  Many designers and web marketing people actually prefer using this popular blogging software for their static sites as well.

A friend recently sent me the link to this video. It’s pretty funny and I hope you like it.

I have a cousin who is currently serving his second tour in Iraq. His duties include filming documentaries for the military as well as capturing the day to day events in photos and video. I think he is very talented when it comes to producing these videos and I thought I would share one of them with you. Our family is very proud of his service to our country and are looking forward to his safe return home.

If you know of someone who has served in our military or is currently serving, don’t forget to thank them for their service the next time you see them. Without the sacrifices they have made, the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans would not be possible.
