What is WordPress

This is the best free blog platform I have found.

WordPress is suited both for business and personal use, and is a marked improvement on any of the free platform/host options. The presentation is extremely professional, ultimately customizable and easy to use. There is an abundance of support in the form of forums, faq’s etc. for the WordPress platform, on the off chance that you’ll need it, and oh yes and its still free!

Now to cover just some of the features of Wordpress:

- All the code is in full compliance with the standards of the W3C.
- WordPress allows the creation of non-blog, or normal web pages, that share the same theme but do not use a blog interface.
- Links are easily created and modified through the easy to use administration interface.
- Next, changes to templates are replicated immediately on your blog, which means static pages do not have to be republished.
- Design is made easy with themes and templates being effortlessly installed, from an abundance of different sites. There are also style and theme switchers.
- Features such as trackbacks, pinging, comments, spam protection, user registration, password protected posts, multiple authors etc etc etc
- Also of note is the ability to add plugins, which allow you tweak about anything.

As mentioned above, this is a free platform, in which you can manipulate the code as you please.
