Do We Really Need Wordpress?

Before starting this article I have to say - I use Wordpress a lot.

The thing is, the main reason I use it is laziness.

For the sorts of sites I build I don't really need Wordpress but the only real reasons I use it are;

• Links to posts made are automatically added to a sidebar (when you want to use a sidebar)
• Links to posts made are automatically added to a category
• Uploading images is quicker
• You don't have to worry about FTP'ing when adding content

Basically, all those advantages are due to laziness and saving a little bit of time, which is understandable if it is a blog type site and you are making several posts a day.

With sites like mine though where posts. pages, articles etc. are infrequent and don't really need editing that much, the time saved by using Wordpress is out-done by the more control you have of not using Wordpress.
