Many times in past episodes, you have heard me mention using WordPress, not only for blogging, but as a web site too. Since it’s early days, WordPress has developed into, what many feel, is the Number One software for blogging.

Tonight, we will discuss using WordPress as a platform for your podcast. No, not to host your podcast, but to give your podcast an additional presence in the Internet Real Estate Arena.

To begin with, let’s talk about what WordPress is. WordPress is a software package that you run on the Internet and it is commonly known as a Content Management System or CMS. With the availability of literally thousands of plugins and themes, you can easily make your WordPress site do anything you need and look completely different from the millions of other WordPress sites running today.

Podcaster Training and it’s parent site, The NMP Network, each operate a WordPress site. Using a News Style or Magazine Style Theme, these sites do not resemble a typical blog, but they are organized and easy to use. Along with several plugins, oh, a plugin is a smaller extension program that adds functionality and normally provides a specific task to the site, each site has lots of features not normally found in your typical blog. Again, giving a unique perspective to your site.

Now, to bring a very unique perspective to this discussion, Jeff Chandler from WordPress Weekly is with us tonight and I hope he will share his insights on this topic with you.

We discussed the various themes and plugins that Jeff, Josh and myself use and had some input from a new listener about his site and how he uses WordPress.

You will definitely want to listen to this episode to find out more and be sure to tune into Jeff’s WordPress Weekly show on Talkshoe every Friday Night at 8:00pm EST (or you can at least subscribe to his RSS Feed so that you don’t miss my show!)
