WordPress is a Web publishing system (a.k.a. content management system) written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database. WordPress is used to manage frequently-updated Web content, especially Weblogs. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License and is available free of charge.

History

The name WordPress was suggested by Christine Selleck, a friend of lead developer Matthew Mullenweg. WordPress is the official successor of b2\cafelog and has a thriving user and developer community.

WordPress releases are named after well-known jazz musicians (e.g. Mingus). The current version of WordPress is 1.5 “Strayhorn”.

WordPress currently supports one weblog or site per installation. A future release will support multiple weblogs from one installation. You can still have more than one WordPress blog in the same server, even on the same database.
