Was going through my stats and seeing where people find me from. One of those posts was 4 years old and discussed “How do I make my blog look like a website.” That is a topic that has certainly changed in the last 4 years. HTML5 is becoming the standard for web design. It is more dependent on using css to display pages. CSS works well with the structure of WordPress. Now if the browsers ever started displaying things the same it would become even more prevalent. More and more people are using a blog structure as their website. I do for almost all of my sites. With the changes over the last couple of updates to WordPress it has become very easy to use the software as a CMS (content management system) and display different types of pages in different formats. Some pages with a blog look, others with a website look. No longer is it necessary to hack a theme to make them look similar. You can just set up custom pages and it is now easy to maintain the same look across the board because you are drawing the same theme across the board. A variety of new themes have taken advantage of this and now it is point and click simple to change pages with the appropriate theme. This way you can easily get the look of a website but maintain the advantages of a blog across your site. So has the new question become why isn’t my website a blog? What do you think?
