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 (e.g. Mingus). The current version of WordPress is 1.5.

WordPress currently supports one weblog or site per installation. A future release will support multiple weblogs from one installation. Another fork of the original b2 program, b2evolution, supports multiple weblogs per installation.
