WordPress is a popular blogging platform and content management system (CMS) that provides a free and easy way to create, publish, manage, update, and promote content on your website. For example, WordPress powers the websites of CNN, The New York Times, TechCrunch, Mashable, and many other large media companies.WordPress allows you to design your website’s layout and appearance, upload fresh content quickly and easily with just a few clicks or keystrokes, and then track how your user traffic moves through your site. You can tune WordPress to do things like display recent blog posts on your homepage or create a custom 404 error page for when users reach a broken link.
