Wondering what all the fuss is about?

Never heard of Wordpress and what it can do for you? Then these little pearls should help clear things up for you.

WordPress is a simple, blog publishing application that is versatile and very powerful.

It can be used for basic content management and ecommerce (online shopping) needs. It was first released in May 2003 by its co-founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little as the successor to b2/cafelog.

It is powered by PHP and a SQL data backend. As of September 2009, Wordpress is used by 62.8 million* websites in the US and 202 million websites worldwide.

The latest release, 2.8.5, appeared in October 2009. "WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPL.

It is the official successor of b2/cafelog. WordPress is fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2001. It is a mature and stable product. We hope by focusing on web standards and user experience we can create a tool different from anything else out there."
