I think you can read my previous article TOP 10 BLOGGING PLATFORMS IN INTERNET by techscite . So you know about top blogging platforms.In this article i explain briefly about WORDPRESS
WordPress is a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL.Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. WordPress was used by more than 22.0% of the top 10 million websites as of August 2013. WordPress is the most popular blogging system in use on the Web, at more than 60 million websites.
It was first released on May 27, 2003, by its founders, Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, as a fork of b2/cafelog. The license under which WordPress software is released is the GPLv2 (or later) from the Free Software Foundation.
WordPress has two options:
OPTION 1 : A freemium hosted service that provides .wordpress.com domains —
E.g. jyotheeswar.wordpress.com (but you can still pay to use your own domain)
and includes limited customization.
OPTION 2: The completey free .org version which allows for you to host WordPress on your
own servers with much more control, edit themes to your hearts content, hack code
and add as many WordPress plugins as you wish.
It is, in simple terms, the daddy of blogging. The platform powers almost 19 percent of the Web and has been downloaded more than 45 million times.
One of the platform’s core strengths is its community of creatives, who have produced thousands of customizations and tweaks allowing WordPress users to add sophisticated and powerful plug-ins (features) to their blogs, or dress it up in a new layout or design.
Pros: Customization, customization, customization!
Cons: Vast array of options can be complicated for less-experienced users — tread carefully.
Verdict: Still the best option out there. WordPress is especially useful for companies or those looking to develop (or have someone else develop) a sophisticated website.
