Wordpress is world’s largely used Content management and blog publishing system. This is used by over millions of bloggers and is most famous CMS. Many of us don’t know that fact that Wordpress is the successor to a CMS project popularly known as cafelog/b2 until may 2003. Its precursor was one of the most extensive used CMS that time. Initially started as a blog publishing platform, its developers successfully made a CMS out of it. Wordpress is one of the primitive CMS available to the users all over the world. And the best part is that it is an open source project which was first released in May 2003 by co founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. It is powered by PHP and SQL data back end. It is so popular that CNN and NY Times use it as their Blog Publishing Platform.


 


Main features

Initially started as a Blog publishing platform, it has embedded HTML code  for operation and organizing different elements of a blog making it extremely easy for the user  to handle without any knowledge of HTML. Wordpress is one of the best things to have happened for small enterprises which could exploit its true potential. Since Wordpress is already developed to be used as a blog, even the people who are brand new to the world of internet are at ease to use this platform. The greatest things in the world are simple and wordpress is a perfect example.

Comments are already built into the system as well as pinging services( in the form of embedded html), multiple blogger profiles, trackback url’s, password protected posts, spam protection, intelligent text formatting, hit stats and a few which make it an extremely useful and simple tool. Futhermore Wordpress has a big support and development community which provides custom Wordpress Plugins and Wordpress Themes. A novice with the computer, having the knowledge of using MS word could easily get his hands on wordpress.

The present release 2.8.6 is endowed with great features that a publisher could dream of. All we need is a web host that satisfies wordpress’ minimum requirements and just start posting   to your website.

Roadmap & Philosophy

Wordpress focuses a lot on user experience and the developers have made it a point to release a new version every 3-4 months or roughly 3-4 times a year. Wordpress also organizes  Wordcamps ( wordpress bootcamps ) all over the world to know the user experience with an intent to deliver a  better release every three months.

Developer(s)

Founders: Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little.

Developers: Ryan Boren, Dougal Campbell, Mark Jaquith, Andy Skelton, Michael Valdrighi and Peter Westwood

    Wordpress is really getting popular and popular day by day. About 1 year ago, wordpress was not so common, usually forum systems were dominant in the web world. But especially in the last 3 months, blogging systems have started to bring more money to siteowners and more visitors started to view blogging systems.

    Its installation is very easy. just changing your wp-config and deciding a title for your blog is enough.

    Wordpress script is very very easy to use. Even 11-12 years old webmasters can cope with it. Adding a new post, themes, general settings… they are very easy to understand for everyone.

    Being able to date your posts in the wordpress is a great specialty for this script. usually webmasters post about 100 posts at one time and they will be shown in 1 month. this is really great use for the busy webmasters

    Wordpress is hands down the best cms or blogging system out. I used to use blogger but once I tried Wordpress I ever went back. It’s just so easy to use that anyone could become a webmaster and learn the ins and out of the webmaster profession. Widgets are the best part of Wordpress because you can just click and drag them, throw some code in and you’re done. The way the admin panel is set-up is simple to use and the ability to add plug-ins from there is a breeze.

    Wordpress is in my option the best open source CMS on internet. It has a very fast installation and a lot of free plugins, themes & extensions. Wordpress security management is brilliant. WP is very friendly for search engines, for sure with plugins like All-in-one-SEO plugin. Rewrite your URL, custom title, desc and keywords and much more SEO options. The performance of Wordpress is outstanding, in a year it had only two errors, because a plugin error in my database, loading time is fast. Accoording to my uptime report it had a availability of 99,8% :-)

    I only use WordPress for my websites. Wordpress is the most popular and easy to use CMS by far. It has a large number of plug ins available as well, that add many additional functionalities. You simply can’t go wrong with Wordpress!

    Wordpress has got to be “it”. Everything from installing it to the overall look is great. I run a sunglass blog but the way I have Wordpress set up, you wouldn’t know that I was using Wordpress. There are many built in features that can be activated or shut off at any time. On most blog you see things like comments from members. To my surprise I was able to turn that off so not only can’t you comment, but it won’t even show a comment form in the first place.

    Themes
    I started to purchase a unique Wordpress theme but after seeing the professional Wordpress themes that are for FREE, I quickly grab one that I liked. Once again, the theme doesn’t look like a blog at all. The only thing I had to do is change the footer links to my liking and I was done. I used the money I had planned on spending on a theme on a good seo firm instead! All you need to do in order to add a theme is to upload it in your theme directory and then activate it in the admin panel.

    Plug-ins
    With Wordpress you can search for plug-ins using their built in search function that will show plug-ins that are available. Not only can you find them but you can also install them without having to download and re-upload them to your server. Plug-ins vary in nature from news sliders to the way the overall blog functions. I even added a message board with a few clicks of the button that matches my themes color. You don’t really need technical skills with Wordpress, it’s pretty self explanatory.

    Editorial Features
    Ultimately the editorial features are what separate Wordpress from similar blogging systems. There is an option for html or Wordpress formatted text. Things such as the html is all controlled through the .css so you don’t have to waste time with that. I don’t care what anyone tells you, Wordpress is simply the best blogging system out today.
