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 without charge.

History

The name "Wordpress" was suggested by Christine Selleck, a friend of lead developer Matt 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. The current version of WordPress is 1.2 Mingus.

WordPress currently supports one weblog or site per installation, but multiple installations are trivial. A future release will support multiple weblogs from one installation. (A second, "unofficial" branch off b2, b2evolution, does support multiple weblogs per installation.) WordPress is fully XHTML and CSS compliant.
