What is a Content Management System? A Web Content Management System (CMS) is a browser based system used to update your website or blog. By using a CMS, you can virtually know nothing about HTML coding or website design to update your website. Adding content to your site is as easy as typing a letter in Microsoft Word. You can add text, images and video quickly and easily giving virtually anyone the ability to run a professional website or blog.
Why Should I Use A Content Management System? Why not? Practically every site or blog on the net is running on a CMS. It simply does not make sense to add new content to a website manually anymore (by manually I mean hand-coding page by page). Content Management Systems also are configured to provide better site organization. Basically they organize your articles and content for you, neatly and efficiently. They support "tags", provide built-in search engine optimization, and can even alert the search engines when you post new content. This makes it easier for people to find your site on Search Engines, like the almighty Google!

Your Mom thinks your special So you have a blog with a pretty decent template and great content. You really think its great and your friends, family and acquaintances think its really awesome - they are truly impressed. You have widgets, video, downloads, tag clouds, blah, blah blah. You labor over it for hours on end and send tweets, and facebook updates whenever you add new content.  Here's the sad but true reality - 99.99% of the Internet population doesn't really care.
Who are you to them? What makes you different from the MILLIONS - yes MILLIONS of other bloggers out there? Why should they read or care about your "Cool Wordpress Plugins" article when there are hundreds of articles written about the same topic? You need to stand out from the crowd to attract a mainstream following and to make your efforts truly worthwhile. The first thing you need to realize is you can't do that by following the "herd" and fitting in.

It's OFFICIALLY official - I'm a Twitter Addict. Unfortunately, I still have to work to do besides tweeting! Luckily there are some cool Firefox extensions out there to save the day, and allow me to stay on top of my tweeting habit while being productive at the same time. I've downloaded and tried three different Firefox add-ons today and i am ready to post my results!
