What would you be doing, if there wasn’t WordPress?

David Peralty from Blogging Pro raised a really interesting question worth thinking about.

Do you think blogging would be what it is today without WordPress?

I remember when I decided to use my own domain and get off Blogger.com. I had a hard time choosing which platform to use. There was MovableType, ExpressionEngine, TextPattern, Nucleus CMS and a lot other lesser known one (which I didn’t know were lesser known at that time).

That was back during the WordPress 1.X days. Wow. 😯

I gave all of them a try, and I ended up with WordPress. I remember I hated MT’s installation process and the cgi scripts stuff. I made the subconscious choice to use WordPress, because I like the quick installs and the easy to understand backend admin system, and the easy templating system.

Today, 4 years down the road, I’m very glad I made the right choice. Things would be so different if I chose any other platform.

How would YOUR business have changed without WordPress?
