2. SIMPLE WORD DEFINITION
HYREN TECHNOLOGIES 2
Word Press is an online, open source website
creation tool written in PHP. But in non-geek
speak, it’s probably the easiest and most
powerful blogging and website content
management system (or CMS) in existence
today.
3. WHAT IS WORDPRESS (TECHNICHAL)
Word Press is currently the fastest
growing CMS software. Initially, Word
Press was largely associated with
blogs as its main functionality was to
allow easy blog experience. Yet, over
time, its developers expanded its
functionality to allow the creation of
more complicated websites and grew
it into a content management system
rather than a blogging tool. Word Press
is considered the easiest to use CMS
thanks to a very friendly interface. It
also has an amazing number of plugins
which allow extension of its
functionality in various possible ways.

Since Word Press is open source, it’s free. That’s always a
bonus. And again, because it’s open source, it also has a
thriving community of developers constantly improving the
software and creating plugins to expand the software. Word
Press lets you create pages (stand alone content) and posts
(time-driven content) to build out the content of your site.
And you can also easily manage your site’s look and feel
with themes.
