WordPress is the bloggers friend in more ways than one. Simple, flexible yet so very effective, the WordPress site is packed with useful information and tips galore. Continually developing and expanding, there are now thousands of so called WordPress widgets - effectively bolt on services such as adverts, newsletter subscriptions and anything else you can think of!
The main website contains a number of basic areas including, a full online help section, a very active blog area open to everyone, a massive online support area, details of WordPress friendly web hosts and the jewel in the crown - the actual WordPress code. The site itself is very basic, which further highlights the vast array of information, no flashing banners, no cartoon shows, just good old fashioned useful information.
WordPress has been around since 2003 although it has shown massive growth in that time, due in the main to the “Open Source” status of the core code. This allows any third party to code additional services to tag onto the existing code, and market freely on the internet - with each “widget” increasing the attraction of WordPRess to the masses. The website itself is a must for any serious webmaster looking to create their own blog.
