Why we decided on Wordpress?
Many university libraries are using Wordpress. We used Cubberley Education Library’s Blog at Stanford University as a benchmark.
Wordpress had many of the features we wanted in a blog.
You could easily add your own widgets to the blog (Customizable)
The lay-out of the blog templates looked very professional
The blog had a thorough statistical function The blog had a good Spam filter
