Introduction to WordPress

WordPress is an open source Content Management System (CMS), often used as a blog
publishing application, powered by PHP and MySQL. It has many features including a plug-in
architecture and a template system. Used by over 12% of the 1,000,000 biggest websites, WordPress
is the most popular CMS in use today.

It was first released on May 27, 2003, by Matt Mullenweg as a fork of b2/cafelog. As of
August 2010, version 3.0 had been downloaded over 12.5 million times.

WordPress has a template processor system, which includes widgets that can be rearranged
without editing PHP or HTML code, as well as themes that can be installed and switched between.
The PHP and HTML code in themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations. WordPress
also features integrated link management; a search engine-friendly, clean permalink structure; the
ability to assign nested, multiple categories to articles; and support for tagging of posts and articles.
Automatic filters that provide for proper formatting and styling of text in articles (for example,
converting regular quotes to smart quotes) are also included. WordPress also supports the
Trackback and Pingback standards for displaying links to other sites that have themselves linked to a
post or article. Finally, WordPress has a rich plugin architecture which allows users and developers
to extend its functionality beyond the features that come as part of the base install.
