Recently at a Brisbane Web Design meetup I participated in an active discussion on CMS’s. It was a great night with people speaking for at least 5 different CMS’s! I was batting for WordPress which was no problem at all – I’m a huge fan!
I thought other people might enjoy knowing the benefits of using WordPress to run your website too, so I’ve posted the slideshow (above) I put together for the night.
Got another reason people should use WordPress?
Please let me know in the comments below

Well I don’t have any problem with wordpress as it is very nice blogging system but personally I can give you 10 * 10 reasons to not use wordpress… and some other can give 10 * 10 * 10 reasons to use it so its matter of personal choice
I prefer custom works though…
I use wordpress myself and have always found it really easy and customisable to my needs. Thanks for the post.
I hated wordpress when i was first requested to do a site with it. I could see nothing but negative and hard to use ‘features.’
Now i am quite happy to be a convert – my main site has converted to WP and most people i design for dislike the name, but love it if they don’t know it is WP.
A big agency in my region slams Wordpress and Open Source all over the region – because they have invested heavily in a proprietary CMS with half the features and ridiculously long development time for simple plugins.
With WP usually a plugin is right there if needed – someone needed it months before i needed and has released it.
WordPress is my 1st choice now.
