What is WordPress & Why Is It Great?

WordPress has taken the world of online publishing by storm since it first gained popularity in 2003. Now, it is used by more than 22% of all new websites to create easy to manage backends, beautiful, customizable front ends, while handling everything in between in elegant free, open source PHP and MySQL code. WordPress is used for everything from e-commerce to portfolio sites, from single page websites, to multiple hundreds of pages of dynamic content. It is the community of users, plugins, themes, frameworks, and general mindset of developers, designers and users that make WordPress so easy and fun to use.
