WordPress
WordPress is a system for management of web content (text and images, and much more with plugins). It is especially appropriate for the establishment and maintenance of a weblog, since it allows to accept any contribution of one or several categories, and automatically generates the corresponding menu items. In parallel, it also allows individual uncategorized pages.
Next, the system, including reader comments with the ability to approve them prior to publication only, as well as a central link management, a management of user roles and rights and the possibility of external plugins, WordPress have been developed towards a fully-fledged content management system.
WordPress is based on the PHP web scripting language and requires a MySQL database. It is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License. The developers put the open-source software on the site ready for free download. According to the developers, the system places special emphasis on web standards, elegance, user friendliness and ease of customization. WordPress is the official successor of b2 and the system has a growing user and developer community.
