Wordpress

with one comment

phpFEig0kWordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. Networknet is powered by Wordpress and for me de facto as a blogging platform. I am using Wordpress for more two years and can’t find something familiar.

Wordpress is a Open Source project where hundreds of people all over the world are working on. Two years ago this project opened my eyes for Open Source and since than I am using and trying out other projects.

Wordpress is completely built on web standards and requires PHP and mysql. If you want start using Wordpress than there are two options:

  • Register a blog at WordPress.com and in seconds you are ready to go.  The service is free but less flexiable.
  • Download and install WordPress on a hosting provider server with Linux platform and support for PHP and mysql database. In 30 minutes you should be able to go and start blogging yourself ;-)
Writing, managing and maintaining your Wordpress blog is easy as browsing a website and with it’s Admin pages you can do everything with your popular browser. Firefox and Google Chrome are doing much better than Internet Explorer. For a while I used Windows Live Writer but I see many advantages without it.   

Example of Writing a page:
