WordPress - Free Blog Tool and Weblog Platform

WordPress.org is a free publishing platform that is interested in aesthetics, online standards and techniques. To put it in another way, wordpress.org is a website that you can use in order to manage to work with your blogging software. If you want to use this site you have to start by setting up on a web host in order to obtain more flexibility or just by getting one of the free blogs offered on wordpress.org.

How to use WordPress.org

Blogging to the maximum

WordPress.org might be considered as being one of the biggest self hosted blogging tool worldwide. Everything that you can find on this website has been created in order to serve the public. This is an open source project, meaning that there are a lot of people working on it worldwide. At the same time you can use the platform for absolutely everything you want without paying any license fees. By using this site you can download and install a software script named wordpress, but in order to do that it is required that you have a web host that should meet the minimum requirements needed and also some spare time. As we mentioned before, wordpress can be used for almost everything and it is absolutely customizable. There is another service that is called wordpress.com that helps you start with a new blog in a few seconds, but it is not as complete and flexible as the one you install yourself.
