WordPress is a state-of-the-art
semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics,
web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless
at the same time. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you
want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.
What is a "blog"?
"Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog," which is a term used
to describe web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information.
A blog is a frequently updated, personal website featuring diary-type
commentary and links to articles on other Web sites. Blogs range
from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow
subject or a whole range of subjects.
Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home
staging, sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting
links to all types of other sites. And others are more like personal
journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts.
Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend
to have a few things in common: A main content area with articles
listed chronologically, newest on top. Often, the articles are organized
into categories. An archive of older articles. A way for people
to leave comments about the articles. A list of links to other related
sites, sometimes called a "blogroll". One or more "feeds" like RSS,
Atom or RDF files. Some blogs may have additional features beyond
these.
