I’m sure WordPress will be a study of mine for years to come.
We’ve recently learned that Wordrpress MU (multi user) operates much faster than the standard WordPress easy install. If you load these two websites you may see what I mean:
Open two windows or tabs with your browser. Then open both these websites which use essentially the same tempate and tell me which one loads faster for you. After they are both open hit refresh and time them.
One is WordPress MU and the other is simply WordPress.
MU also has the capability of serving up websites underneath it. For example, you can offer websites and blogs to everyone under your domain.

Notice it takes you directly to the log in screen. If you don’t have a Username and Password you are not getting in. Nor will this configuration allow someone to attempt to register.
There are some drawbacks with WordPress. Anytime you plug something in to enhance the system you may break another part of the system. This is because there are thousands of developers creating plugins. Also, when you see there is a plugin update the system can break with the update. Most businesses do not need the number of plugins we use making it unlikely your system will encounter an error.
One of the nice things we offer is a full system backup that runs daily and weekly. You do not need to rely on the WordPress backup which can fail to function as you would like.
All in all this is still the best web development software out there. It hooks into Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites via plugins or RSS feeds. It really can’t be beat!
