WordPress 2.0: The Ultimate Small Business Publishing Platform
Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 8:30 p.m. ET (no charge, registration required)
Guest Expert: Michael Pollock, Solostream Web Studio
In the last few years, we’ve seen an explosion of what have been called “push button publishing services;” also known as blogs. Because they’re so easy to use, hosted services such as Typepad, Blogger and LiveJournal have been the dominant players in this market.
More recently, however, a stand-alone publishing platform named WordPress has been steadily growing in popularity. Recent estimates suggest there are currently more than 1 million WordPress users across the planet. And a lot of them are small business owners just like you. During this discussion, Michael will talk about some of the reasons why the WordPress user base is growing so quickly. In particular, he’ll talk about:
- Limitations and drawbacks of hosted services like Typepad and Blogger.
- What you CAN do with WordPress that you CAN’T do with hosted services.
- 5 reasons you may want to switch to WordPress.
- 5 reasons you may not want to switch to WordPress.
- Questions and concerns addressed.

Thanks so much, Michael for this very informative session all about WordPress. I may be tempted to test drive it in the near future. Gotta stay up with the changing blogosphere… Brian Clark over at Copyblogger.com just posted a nifty “Tubetorial” on using WordPress that is helpful.
Sounds great, but I missed it. Did you keep a transcript by any chance?
I’ll be running, but will try to catch the replay of it. I already believe in word press, though! Good luck, and have fun!
