wordpress

Wordpress is a package of blogging software originally developed by Matt Mullenweg with contributions from a number of other authors. It is released under an open source license through the site wordpress.org. It is the most widely used stand-alone blogging software in the world.

Wordpress uses PHP files and Cascading Style Sheets to structure the blog site, storing weblog entries in the host's SQL database. Presentation and features of a wordpress page can be modified using thousands of different themes, plugins and widgets to produce a great deal of customization. While a great many of these resources are available free of charge, the market for high-end commercial plugins and themes is growing rapidly.

Wordpress is noted for its ease of use and extensive configurability. It is literally possible to set up a working Wordpress blog in less than 10 minutes. You can even host it for free through the Wordpress host site.

  Conservative Libertarian Outpost — Authority: 135
  The fiasco that is today’s beltway is much more than a bunch of clowns on parade.

  ALTERNATE-REALITY.NET — Authority: 136
  So here’s what I figured out so far: wp_reset_query had to be used after the post loop for pages to fix the comments issue. That did not fix it entirely. Since I stripped and destroyed to get functions from several themes I figured out the comments template was an older version Wordpress. I replaced it with the ...

  Conservative Libertarian Outpost — Authority: 135
  It’s been a busy week to say the least. So this is a bit of playing catch up. The steamroller approach being taken by epic fail obama and his minions  shows the utter disdain that the Lairds have for we, the unwashed. Don’t be fooled!
