One version is a hosted solution by WordPress itself. And other one is download and hosted by you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WordPress Hosted<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The quickest way to create a WordPress site for your library is to visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordpress.com\">www.wordpress.com<\/a>, create an account, and within a few minutes, you can start creating webpages and uploading images to a portal that you can call your own. While this is the easiest of the two versions. It comes with limitations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The hosted versions have:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Limited functionality<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> No plugin available<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Limits on design, layout, and themes available<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> The footer will display\u201d powered by WordPress\u201d and ads unless you upgrade it<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Limits in website optimization for search engine (SEO)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WordPress Self Hosted<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With this version of WordPress, you can download the WordPress source code and then upload this to a server\/hosting account. While you can visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wordpress.org\">www.wordpress.org<\/a>\u00a0and obtain the WordPress source code free of charge, all you need is to rent a server\/purchase a hosting service. There are a lot of hosting providers are there in India as well as outside, from them you can have one and configure it along with a domain, If your institution posses already a domain, just create a subdomain and map it with your server\/hosting service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The self-hosted WordPress has:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Hundreds of free and commercial themes are available<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> WordPress repository of plugins available to provide extra functionality to your site<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> You can customize the look and feel of your site<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> More search engine optimized features to help index your library website<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> The tools to create a truly unique and customizable library website<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">NB: I do personally recommend the self-hosted version of WordPress. Although there is a cost each month for hosting\/server it provides you with many more tools and options to build a professional library website<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_web_pages_for_your_library_website\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Create web pages for your library website<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once your website is built, start adding new pages straight away. Most of the formatting options are similar to the desktop word processing applications like MS-word\/LibreOffice<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When using WordPress for your library, you can provide site visitors with a wealth of information. typically,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What services do you have available to the visitors or your organization employees<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Links to further resources or your library management software<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Help and general library information<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Contact pages, information request forms, and opening hours<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Links to your online catalog &amp; archive if any<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Social media links and embedded Twitter feeds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">WordPress makes it very easy to add and create as many web pages as your need, plus easy to navigate menus.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintaining_your_WordPress_library_website\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Maintaining your WordPress library website<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you decide to use the WordPress hosted version, then much of the maintenance is taken care of by WordPress themselves. But it has limitations as I mentioned previously<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When using self-hosted WordPress versions, then you need to ensure the following<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You take regular backups of your website files, uploads, themes, and plugins<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You take regular backups of the WordPress database<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You update all plugins used on the site every few weeks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The core WordPress software is kept up to date<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If this seems too much, some third-party providers can help you to keep your site backed up and software updated automatically. There are also simple plugins that are capable of running regular backups for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As I mentioned previously, some hosting providers also provide managed WordPress hosting. This is something to consider if you don\u2019t want to get involved with the maintenance side of running your library website<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_your_library_website_secure\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep your library website secure!<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keeping your WordPress software up to date is vital to help you run a healthy library website. As with your mobile phone apps and computer software you should always ensure the latest patches and updates are applied. Your library website is no different. It all helps to keep the nasties, malware, and trojans from gaining unauthorized access to your site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the most basic level of security, you must always ensure you use site login passwords that are not easy to guess. Various plugins are also available to help you to keep your library website secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>NB: If you are completely looking for a free platform, use Google&#8217;s Blogger platform, in which you will have complete control and customisation option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using WordPress software as a content management solution for your website has many advantages and can provide you with a professional presence for your library or information center.
