Yes, WP is a very flexible CMS with wide range of third party extensions. Another reason for it’s flexibility is that the developers of WordPress CMS are pushing for multipurpose program. Within few years of launch, it went from a casual and easy to use blogging platform to a large scale web management system. To me it is a good thing for average user. Like I always believe, jack of all trades is better than mater of none.
A lot of people hate software just because they do not like the look and feel of the user interface. Surprisingly even the knowledgeable “geeks” have strong preferences on the GUI (Graphical User Interface). This often takes away the focus from functionality and versatility of programs and impact negatively on high-quality products.
Recently I added a plug-in outside of the WordPress repository. To my horror, one of the files had a malware code inserted into the the “head” tag. The bad guys are so cleaver that they made their code to run randomly so it will not be detected by the web developer as soon as they install these bad plugins. So how do you know you have problems in your installed scripts? How do you go around fixing them? The answer to the first is that you probably won’t know until a visitor to your site or yourself come across it. But if the bad guys are into stealing information such as credit card data, you may be out of luck.
Unlike in the old days, web space is getting crowded. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) have seen a flood of new applications for top level domains (TLDs) as technology have spread far beyond the rich and the powerful. I remember when I was a kid, a sever would cost more than the salary of an average South Asian. But today, one can build a server and install open source operating system for just under $400 (CAD). The rapid growth in technology have eroded the resources available for webmasters around the world.
If you are a teacher or a professor, you probably have several students in your class. Let’s say you would like to provide them with an update on their averages after every single quiz and exam they take. But you hate to email each and everyone of them because it consumes a lot of time to copy data from your Excel file of student records to individual emails. This is where the extract data from row by row using loop iteration comes to save you.
