（#Word #WP #WordPress #Blog）#WordPress is the world’s most widely used CMS. It’s a CMS that can suddenly flag content for deletion
An article titled “Blog.”
Since blogging itself has become a trend,
it’s something that catches my interest from time to time.
There are various blog platforms on the Internet.
Many of them are in the form of a CMS.
CMS stands for
Content Management System.
Even without specialized knowledge of programming or web design (such as HTML or CSS),
simply by entering text and images,
you can easily create and manage websites and blogs.
The Role (Mechanism) of a CMS
Normally, creating a website requires writing code in a programming language, but
using a CMS allows you to manage everything from an “admin panel.”
Traditional Web Development:
Write text + Manually enter programming code + Manually upload to the server
Programming knowledge required.
When using a CMS:
Simply enter text in the admin panel and click the “Publish” button.
You can add pages, insert images, and change the design (theme) using the same process—just as easily as writing a document.

Reasons to Start a Blog on WordPress and Secrets to Success
“I have thoughts and things I want to share with others.”
“I want to reach a wider audience, but I’m not really gaining traction.”
Are you struggling with these kinds of issues?
These days, there are many ways to put your thoughts and messages into words and share them with others.
Posting short updates on social media is one of them.
Sometimes, a brief social media post just doesn’t feel like enough,
but writing a novel-length piece with the goal of getting published is a huge undertaking.
A blog might be just the right middle ground.
If social media is a “flow” medium where content passes by,
a blog is a “stock” medium where content accumulates over time.
It offers the benefit of being able to look back on your past thoughts as if they were assets.
There are various types of blogging platforms, including some you can start for free.
Among them, “WordPress” is the leading platform that’s garnering the most attention worldwide and is used by many people.
In this post, I’ll carefully explain why you should choose WordPress if you’re starting a blog, its appeal, and the key points for making your blog a success.
Put your thoughts and what you want to share into words and publish them
Every day, we think and feel all sorts of things.
Insights from work,
knowledge about your hobbies,
parenting concerns,
or even small everyday discoveries—
even if something seems ordinary to you,
it might be exactly the information someone else has been looking for.
Why not put the thoughts and ideas in your head into words and share them?
By putting your thoughts into words and sharing them, you might find like-minded people who feel the same way,
or even help someone solve their problems.
The words you share might just be the catalyst that positively changes someone’s future.
But that’s not all.
Keeping a blog is also a wonderful opportunity to organize your thoughts.
You might look back fondly and think, “I was worried about things like that back then,” or
gain new insights, such as, “I’d think differently about this now.”
When you look back at the blog posts you’ve written so far,
you’ll be able to truly feel how much you’ve grown.
Why Do So Many People Choose “WordPress”?
When you decide you want to start a blog,
the first thing you’ll struggle with is “which tool to use.”
There are clear reasons why so many people choose “WordPress.”
Even though there are numerous free blogging services available,
many people aiming to run a professional blog or maintain a website long-term choose WordPress from the very beginning.
Global Standard Reliability and an Overwhelming Amount of Information
WordPress is used by more than 40% of websites worldwide.
It is a massive CMS (Content Management System).
There is no risk of sudden service termination due to a specific company’s circumstances,
so you can continue using it with peace of mind.
Furthermore, because it has such a large user base,
there is a wealth of information online about how to use it and how to troubleshoot issues.
Even if you run into trouble while using it, you can find answers immediately with a simple search—a major advantage for beginners.
Evolving Safety and Usability
Engineers around the world work on continuous improvements every day, ensuring that security measures and system updates are constantly made.
- Enhanced Security
Always maintaining a state-of-the-art and secure environment.
- Redesigned UI
Evolved into a modern screen design that feels intuitive, clear, and manageable, even for those who previously found it difficult to operate.
Freely Scalable to Fit Your Purpose and Scale
From personal diary blogs to large-scale membership sites with many users, WordPress caters to every need.
Its flexibility, allowing you to freely customize your site to match your growth and objectives, is the main reason it has been chosen for so many years.
Major Appeal of WordPress
A Wide Variety of Themes and Unparalleled Customization
The reason WordPress has become so popular is its “ease of customization,” which allows you to tailor the design and functionality exactly to your liking.
WordPress offers a wide variety of “themes,”
which are design templates for websites.
From cute designs,
to stylish designs,
to simple designs,
there are countless themes created by designers from all over the world.
Simply by choosing one of these, you can create a professional-looking blog as if by magic.
What’s more, you have complete freedom to customize them further.
Whether you want to “add a button here,”
“change the text color,” or
“create a contact form,”
you can easily make these changes without any specialized computer knowledge.
The joy of WordPress lies in being able to continuously evolve your blog to suit your preferences as it grows.
As a side note,
the dawn of blogging was in the late 1990s through the early 2000s.
The first version of WordPress (0.70) was released on May 27, 2003.
It really has a rich history.
5 Key Points You Need to Know to Make the Most of WordPress
Here is a list of essential elements to keep in mind when running a blog with WordPress.
Understanding these will make your blog management significantly smoother.
- Custom Domain (Your address on the internet)
This means setting the blog's URL (address) to one exclusively for yourself.
Having this gives you a unique site unlike any other in the world and increases trust from your readers. - Plugins (Extensions)
This is a system that allows you to add various useful features to WordPress later on.
You can implement features like strengthening security or automatically compressing images with just the click of a button. - SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
These are techniques to make your blog appear higher in search results like Google.
When done right, many people will naturally find and visit your blog. - Rental Server (Data Storage Space)
This is like space on the internet used to store your blog posts and images.
You must subscribe to one in order to publish your blog on the internet. - Access Analytics (Reader Behavior Analysis)
This is a tool to analyze how many people visit your blog each day and which articles are read the most.
By looking at this data, you can get hints on what kinds of articles to write next.
Once You Write a Blog, You Want to Reach as Many People as Possible
When you start writing a blog, everyone thinks, "I want a lot of people to read this."
After going through the effort of putting your thoughts and helpful information into words,
it feels lonely if no one reads it.
The most important factor in delivering your blog to many people is
aiming for the "top of search results."
When you have a problem, you probably search for keywords on your smartphone.
At that time, you most likely click on articles on the first page or at the very top of the search results.
In other words, if your blog starts appearing near the top of search results, even without promoting it on social media,
many people will naturally come to read your words every day.
When it comes to strategies for aiming high in search results (SEO),
WordPress has an extremely strong framework.
Customizing WordPress: Additional New Gear
Hearing the word "new gear" naturally builds excitement.
It's time to unveil some cherished, top-tier equipment.
A Theme That Dramatically Transforms Your Blog:
The Power of "RE:DIVER"
As mentioned earlier, WordPress offers a vast selection of themes.
However, since so many people use WordPress,
blogs written by different creators often end up using the same themes, making it challenging to build a truly unique and distinctive structure.
By adopting external themes compatible with WordPress, you can build an ideal layout for your blog pages.
The theme I highly recommend is "RE:DIVER."
By using RE:DIVER, even beginners can customize their themes to a professional level with incredible ease.
To be honest, I implemented RE:DIVER on my own blog as well.
Until then, I struggled with design choices and lost time over complex settings,
but switching to RE:DIVER made it possible to build clean, polished sites intuitively.
As a result, many positive changes followed.
First, the improved design readability led to an increase in blog revenue.
Traffic numbers grew, and the overall SEO performance became very strong.
More and more articles began ranking high for targeted keywords, enabling many readers to receive my message every single day.
Choosing an outstanding theme produces excellent SEO results.
Ultimately, it serves as a shortcut to making your blog a success.
Blog Traffic & Ping Response:
How to Choose the Right "Server"
As mentioned before, to start a blog on WordPress, having a "server" to host your URL (address) is absolutely essential.
Ping value refers to the communication speed—how quickly a response is returned when accessing the internet.
Of course, this also affects your server performance.
In fact, choosing the wrong server can ruin all the effort you put into your blog.
Have you ever experienced frustration when trying to open a website on your smartphone and the screen takes forever to load?
When a web page is heavy, visitors and readers won't wait around—they will quickly leave for another page.
No matter how well written your articles are, it means nothing if people close the page before reading them.
To ensure your blog pages load swiftly, a high-performance server environment is an absolute necessity.
One server gaining attention for WordPress is "Quicca Plus."
Because Quicca Plus is specifically optimized for WordPress, it features exceptionally fast blog loading speeds.
By using it, you can deliver a smooth, seamless reading experience to your audience without causing any stress.
To give your visitors the best welcome possible, make sure to pay close attention to your choice of server.
Your Words Can Empower Someone Else
Publishing a blog with WordPress is a wonderful tool that can truly enrich your life.
Putting your thoughts and messages into words to share with the world.
Enjoying rich themes and customizability by using plugins.
Aiming for top search rankings with an outstanding theme like RE:DIVER to reach a wider audience.
And ensuring quick responsiveness for your users by using a reliable server like Quicca Plus.
When all these puzzle pieces fall into place, your blog begins to hold incredible power.
It might feel a bit challenging at first, but once you take that first step, your world will expand dramatically.
I sincerely root for your wonderful ideas to reach countless people through WordPress.
Now, why not start your very own blog today?
“WordPress,” “Blog,” “Delete”
It happened suddenly one day. “Delete”
Just like always,
it was about time to upload my draft blog post
and publish it.
Suddenly, it stopped responding.
Suddenly,
it stopped responding.
I had no idea what had happened.
“?” “??”
WordPress Quality and Operational Policy
WordPress is a world-renowned CMS.
Anyone looking to start a blog online is bound to come across it.
It’s an option for everyone, and its adoption rate is said to be No. 1 in the world.
What is the quality of WordPress as a blog-creation platform itself?
How are the articles themselves handled?
The “articles” you create yourself are processed as press releases.
・2018
When I first landed on WordPress, the dashboard filled with technical jargon alone gave me a headache just looking at it.
・2020
Deciding to properly face blogging, I resolved to set up WordPress once again, entering:
"WordPress.org (ORG)"
I created various articles, pushing forward to focus on quantity first, when
one day, out of nowhere: "Deleted"
I asked on a Q&A board: "My WordPress was deleted, why?"
That was when I discovered that WordPress actually has two versions:
WordPress.org (ORG)
WordPress.com (Dot Com)
・2026
Visiting WordPress again to reboot my blog business after a long break, I opted for WordPress.com this time.
This time, "WordPress.com (COM)"
From April through June, I carefully crafted high-quality articles.
Then one day, out of nowhere: "Deleted"
WordPress Gets "Deleted" Without Warning
Deleted on "org".
Deleted on "com" too.
I can't trust it anymore.
This image is
the email notification from WordPress informing me that my blog was deleted.
Don't "Hello" me.
Reason for Deletion: Content Policy
All those articles I’d been working so hard on.
The guidance states that since they’re being “deleted,” there must be a valid reason for it.
●- Illegal content is not allowed.
●- Beware of intellectual property and copyright infringement.
●- Visually explicit sexual content is not allowed.
●- Operating gambling activities is not allowed.
●- Injecting software viruses or bugs is not allowed.
●- Impersonating other individuals or organizations is not allowed.
●- Violence, threats, or genuine threats of violence/murder against individuals or specific groups are not allowed.
●- Misleading users to steal accounts or passwords is not allowed.
●- Displaying advertisements is not allowed.
●- Using the platform purely as data storage for images or other files is not allowed.
●- Operating primarily for affiliate marketing purposes is not allowed.
●- Polluting the web environment, even outside of WordPress, is not allowed.
Reason for the Deletion
Indeed...
I was displaying affiliate ads.
When it was "deleted,"
there was no guidance on what the "clear, specific reason" was,
leaving me with nothing but disappointment that "my blog vanished without explanation."
Blog articles can range from
textbook model posts to rogue, rougher content.
That's because both have their own demand and appeal.
Both are content that was thoughtfully crafted with time and dedication.
Without any prior notice,
just "deleted" without hesitation or question?
I beg to differ.
The Deletion Judgment Program
With "WordPress.org (ORG)" "deletion,"
the next morning, when I tried to open my blog as part of my daily routine, it was gone.
With "WordPress.com (COM)" "deletion,"
it happened right then and there.
I had a few drafts ready, felt a sense of accomplishment, and was about to publish.
At that exact moment, the screen crashed.
The moment WordPress "deleted" my blog.
The deletion on .com in particular
didn't feel like a judgment or deletion made by human hands.
It felt extremely mechanical—
similar to the feeling of randomly losing connection in an online game.
Were those articles really in violation of the guidelines?
"Malfunction"
Wasn't it a "malfunction" of the "deletion judgment system"?
Purpose of Blogging
There are two main purposes for running a blog.
-
Knowledge
The act of writing articles itself becomes valuable insight.
Taking various everyday questions and pursuing them by asking, "How does this work?"
With AI available, it's easier to get the "answers you want,"
and putting them back into words helps the knowledge truly sink in. - Income
Placing advertisements through affiliate marketing, and earning revenue.
It is only natural to seek income like side hustles as a blog purpose.
Blog creation exists as a viable income-generating business.Simply placing ads lacks flavor,
so in a way, the main article text serves as the "foundation."
Starting a Blog with WordPress: Yes or No?
The answer is “No” .
This is because, as shown here, it can be “deleted”.
When starting a blog, WordPress—often considered the go-to choice—is not necessarily the best option.
To put it simply, the answer is “No.”
The main reason is that as long as you depend on someone else’s platform or environment,
there’s always the risk that your site or data could be “deleted” suddenly one day.
Due to changes in server terms of service, account suspension,
or system errors and database malfunctions,
there’s a danger that all the valuable content you’ve built up over time could vanish in an instant.
Building a "Truly Original CMS" Through Programming
If you aim for "blog management where records never vanish," relying on existing CMS platforms is not the way—building it manually from the ground up is the safest approach.
Hearing "write the code yourself" might sound daunting,
but for a structure built simply to function as a blog,
overly complex knowledge is by no means required.
By instructing AI to generate the specific code and structural design,
you can smoothly prepare all the necessary files without specialized expertise.
-
Leveraging Free Hosting
Create an account at no cost,
and set up the foundation - Storing Your Files
Upload the HTML/CSS and script files created with AI
directly to the server - Securing Full Ownership
Build your own original website
completely independent of third-party platforms
The beauty of this method is that,
even if the server provider happens to shut down or fail,
your programming files and article data remain safely in your own hands.
Compared to WordPress troubles that force you to start over from scratch,
you can restore everything simply by moving your files to another server,
drastically reducing recovery effort and risk.
Blog Revenue and the Value of the Article “What Remains”
My total blog income over the past five years or so has been approximately $30.00.
Even that $30.00,
even that meager amount, came from affiliate clicks during the time I used to run the blog on WordPress.
Revenue is also a fundamental aspect of blogging.
Even if there were times when I felt a sense of emptiness because I couldn’t earn as much as I’d hoped,
the fact that I’m left with the assets of “records” and “posts” is what
truly represents the inherent value of blogging.
The “records” and “posts” that were once lost on WordPress
are now being remade by my own hands,
and brought back to life in a form that will never disappear again.
Rather than entrusting your fate to someone else’s platform,
continuing to protect your records with your own code
is the surest path to keeping your voice heard.
