All about Wordpress

So I got started with WordPress developing (I had previously blogged a few month with WordPress and spent a few years designing and developing). Throughout the years since then I have never found a CMS that I like to work with more than WordPress. That' s because WordPress is fantastic.

Here are 13 things you should know about WordPress, whether you're a programmer, weblogger, or just interested in what WordPress can do. WordPress supports more Web sites than any other CMS in the entire globe (a CMS is simple enough to create, modify and post your own Web content).

Indeed, WordPress power 4. Between 50 and 60% of the web pages that use a CMS are based on WordPress. We have 17 postings that are posted every second of every single working day on WordPress pages. As many pages as you would recognise use WordPress. CNN's blogging is based on WordPress, as are Reuters', The Wall Street Journal and Forbes.

The Mashable, The Next Web and The New Yorker are also all based on WordPress. Noteworthy WordPress brand names are People Magazine, The Rolling Stones, Vogue, MTV News, Facebook (for their newsroom), Harvard Business Review and NASA, among many others. When WordPress is strong enough for these websites, then it is strong enough for almost any website you need to create!

The WordPress started out as a blogsite, but somewhere along the way the developer realised it could do so much more. No matter if you want to build a simple website for a small company or a giant on-line shop with thousand of items, it can be done with WordPress.

The WordPress application allows you to expand what it can do by using plug-ins.
