ISLAMABAD:
Internet users across the country were surprised to find that popular blogging platform WordPress was no longer accessible from Pakistan.
The website was inaccessible on several major internet service providers on Sunday, but there was no official word from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on whether the ban was official or not.
There was speculation that the closure was linked to security preparations ahead of the Pakistan Day parade, to be held on Monday for the first time in seven years. However, these reports could not be independently verified.
A PTA spokesperson, when contacted for confirmation, refused to comment on the development.
WordPress is a blogging platform that also allows Internet users to create their own websites via easy-to-use templates. Thousands of Pakistanis and several Pakistan-based businesses use WordPress to host their blogs and websites.
For bloggers who have just gotten started, which blogging platform they should choose is one of the most confusing decisions they have to make. Usually, bloggers have three top options to choose from, namely Blogger, Tumblr and WordPress are the top choices.
However, when it comes to creating a professional blog, the most rock-solid choice is definitely the WordPress blogging platform. Unlike other blogging platforms, there are many things that can be done with a self hosted WordPress blog.
The biggest advantage of a self hosted WordPress blog over other blogging platforms is that they have no limitations. A cost efficient blogging platform might seem like a good choice for bloggers who have just started their blogging career, but in the long run, WordPress is certainly the best choice.
Alas! that is terrible i just hope things will be sort out soon.
