If Rory Gilmore Had a WordPress Blog

With hot coffee in one hand and many books in the other, she is taking a stroll in her small town – so cozy, yet adventurous with all of its colorful citizens. There is no doubt we are talking about Rory Gilmore from one of the most loved TV shows – “Gilmore Girls”. We can’t lie – our WordPress development agency loves it too.

Rory Gilmore is a girl like no other. Her passion for literature and her curious mind always make her stand from the crowd. It’s hard for Rory to blend in anyway, because of her social awkwardness. However, she still has enough loving people to spend life with.

As the show keeps moving her to the next stages of her life, some things stay the same such as her love for books, junk food, and enormous amounts of caffeine. It’s almost impossible to think of Rory Gilmore and not imagine a book next to her. She said it herself “I just take a book with me everywhere. It’s just a habit”.

Our WordPress development agency couldn’t stop wondering what would Rory look like in the 21st century – in the era of technologies. There is no doubt that her love for books would remain, but what if she decides to take advantage of the digital world?

And to make things clear we are not talking about the grown-up Rory from “A Year in The Life”, but rather the one from the original series. Of course, the show is set in the 2000s so they do know what the Internet is, but it has not taken over their life just yet.

Rory would probably enjoy the Internet. She aspires to be a journalist and to write which is natural, considering how much she enjoys reading. Furthermore, the rise of the blogging platforms will give her the freedom to write as much as she wants and what she wants. The question is what would her blog look like?

Our WordPress development agency will take you on a journey to explore how our beloved and sweet Rory Gilmore would make a blog and what she would write in it. If you are ready to dive deep into WordPress and our favorite Gilmore girl, then keep reading.

Rory’s first day with WordPress

Now that Rory has decided to create a blog, it’s time for her to consider the options. Our WordPress development agency has no doubts she will choose the best content management system on the market, that powers more than 40% of the web. You guessed it – we are talking about WordPress.

This will be the right decision for two reasons. First of all, Rory wants to make a blog and WP was first created as a blogging tool, hence it offers great solutions for this purpose (of course, the platform has now expanded and every type of website can be built on it).

Second, it’s hard to imagine Rory having the skills of WordPress developers. She would probably prefer to continue studying journalism and not HTML or JavaScript. Thus, she needs something more beginner-friendly like WordPress. The platform can be used by those with no technical skills as well as by advanced WordPress developers.

However, if she is way too busy with studying, reading, or watching movies with Lorelai, she’d probably reach for help from a professional WordPress Agency for Development like Vipe Studio. Our WordPress developers have more than 10 years of experience in building top-notch websites. Therefore, we are sure we’d be able to help Rory too.

If Rory decides to create a blog on her own, then she would need to perform a few steps. Our WordPress development agency hopes her first day with WordPress will look nothing like Lorelai’s first day at Chilton. The steps are not complicated at all and with her sharp brain, she’ll be done in no time:

She will install WordPress

The first step is quite obvious, yet it’s worth mentioning. Rory will have to go to WordPress.org (mind there is a solid difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com) and install the system on her computer. Our WordPress development company knows this is something Rory can do in a flash.

She will pick a domain

A domain name is the website’s address that people enter in the URL bar of a browser to visit the website. Rory should be careful when picking a domain since it will represent her blog. The domain name should be short and sweet and easy to remember.

But she wouldn’t have any problem thinking about something with the many book titles floating in her read. Of course, our WordPress development agency would advise her to first decide what her blog will be about.

She will pick a hosting

Hosting is the place where a website is being stored to be accessible for users. There are many hosting providers Rory could choose from. Each has its price, hence Rory needs to consider how much money she wants to spare on it.

She will pick a theme and some great plugins

Now that Rory has her blog up and running it’s time to do the fun part – aka to design it! She is not extremely hooked up on fashion and trends, however, she does have a style. Some of it is probably influenced by her town, Stars Hollow. The easiest way to give your blog a look in WordPress is to pick a theme from the many the platform offers – one of the reasons our WordPress development agency calls it the best CMS.

Rory will probably choose a clean and stylish theme that gives visitors a feeling of warmth and coziness while they browse through her blog posts. Rory is smart enough to know WP has her back covered. With the variety of themes offered, she’d easily find what she is looking for.

Furthermore, Rory is a very organized and neat person and loves to stay on top of all of her tasks. Hence, installing a plugin that will help her with that is a good idea. For example, with the help of the Editorial Calendar, she will easily plan her content and never miss a post – not that she would ever allow this to happen. Nonetheless, some great plugins can help her in taking the blog to the next level.

The blog of Rory Gilmore

Now, that Rory knows how to create a blog herself, our WordPress development agency suggests discussing what her blog could include. Maybe you will find some motivation for your content as well. After all, it’s no secret that Rory is an inspiration for many.

Down below we have given ideas on different niches Rory could write about. At the end of each one, you will find ideas about her blog posts in every niche:

Books

Of all the topics Rory’s blog could cover, literature seems the most convenient. That’s her passion – the place where she puts her heart and soul. Reading is not just a hobby for her – our WordPress development agency sees it as a part of her personality.

Even though it’s said that young people don’t read as much nowadays, there are many blogs about books where people share their passion for reading. Not to mention that these bloggers have taken over social media as well. For them YouTube is BookTube and Instagram is Bookstagram.

Rory would be the perfect fit and there is no doubt she will produce high-quality content for her readers. Also, it’s easy to imagine her sharing pictures of her breakfast at Luke’s and a book – she will conquer social media as well.

• What I Read This Fall
• My Favorite Bookshops in Town

Lifestyle

Another great option for Rory would be to write about lifestyle. Don’t get our WordPress development agency wrong. We are not imagining Rory writing about the latest fashion trends, celebrity gossip, or wellness. Especially the latter considering her eating habits and relationship with sports.

Anyhow, if she does start a lifestyle blog it would include a variety of topics. She may write about her day-to-day life at Chilton (we would love more of Paris Geller anyway), music, books, and of course – movies. She and Lorelai do love a good movie night so why not write an in-depth review about what she watches?

Nonetheless, she could write about Stars Hollow. Life in the small town is quite predictable and it seems like everything always stays the same. However, its citizens, as our WordPress development agency, have already mentioned are captivating. Luke, Miss Patty, Kirk, Taylor Doose, Mrs. Kim, Lane, Jackson, etc. – all of them are no less interesting than Rory and Lorelai and we love to see what is happening with them as well.

For this reason, Rory could write about them. She could interview them – after all, she wants to be a journalist and interviews are a big part of this profession. “People of Stars Hollow” can become a very popular category in her blog. Moreover, the town has many celebrations and festivals which Rory could cover engagingly.

Rory could also write about relationships and love since so many lifestyle blogs including this topic in their articles. However, with Rory’s luck and not as good decision-making skills when it comes to boys, our WordPress development agency doubts she’d be able to provide her readers with useful information.

Food

Our WordPress development agency already said that Rory is less likely to write about wellness since it includes healthy living and she is not a follower of this lifestyle. Anyhow, through the series we are constantly reminded how much she loves not only coffee but also different foods – especially the unhealthy ones such as burgers, pizza, pasta, sweets, and snacks. How she remains so lean is a mystery for everyone.

Now, Rory is not a cook – in fact, she and her mother don’t even know how to use the oven. However, her food blog can be something a bit different than what we are used to. For example, she can go to new places and write about the food she has tried. Besides, her love for coffee can be taken on another level. If she writes enough about it and she gains popularity, our WordPress development agency believes she could even have a coffee brand one day – like Emma Chamberlain!

Will the blog serve her better than her journalism job?

Rory studies and works hard for what she wants to accomplish in her life. She wants to become a journalist so she goes to Yale to pursue this dream. However, through the series, we often see qualities in her that can stand in her way. She likes to have everything planned and be prepared whereas as a journalist one needs to be spontaneous – the news never sleeps.

Furthermore, in “Year in The Life,” we see Rory as a grown-up woman with, unfortunately, not a very successful career in journalism even though she does have published articles in some major publications.

On the other hand, starting a blog will allow her to write in a manner that suits her. She would be able to plan her content, as our WordPress development agency already mentioned. We saw there are many topics she can explore and write about so she will never run out of ideas. It’s not so hard to think of her more as a blogger than as a journalist.

We hope that this article was interesting for you, especially for all “Gilmore Girls” fans out there. Maybe you even got some ideas for your blog? Whatever the case, you can find more articles like this one on the blog of our WordPress development agency.
