<strong>WordPress</strong> started in 2003 and is now the largest selfhosted<br />
blogging tool and is used on, literally, millions of<br />
sites worldwide.<br />
You’re in good company if you use <strong>WordPress</strong> to publish<br />
on the web. Many famous blogs, news outlets, music<br />
sites, Fortune 500 companies and celebrities are using<br />
<strong>WordPress</strong>. For example, famous blogs like Mashable and<br />
TechCrunch are both on <strong>WordPress</strong>. News outlets like<br />
The New York Times’ blogs and CNN’s on-air<br />
personality blogs all use <strong>WordPress</strong>, too.<br />
That should tell you something about how powerful and<br />
safe it is to use. But don’t let that scare you. Just as the NY<br />
Times uses <strong>WordPress</strong>, so do many “first-time-onliners”<br />
who have never touched any type of web design system<br />
at all. So it’s simple enough for even the most wary user.<br />
Since <strong>WordPress</strong> is open source, it’s free. That’s always<br />
a bonus. And again, because it’s open source, it also has a<br />
thriving community of developers constantly improving<br />
the software and creating plugins to expand the software.<br />
<strong>WordPress</strong> lets you create pages (stand alone content)<br />
and posts (time-driven content) to build out the content of<br />
your site. And you can also easily manage your site’s look<br />
and feel <strong>with</strong> themes.<br />
