Over the past few years, WordPress has evolved from a simple blogging application to a web platform you can use to create beautiful websites, blogs and content management systems. WordPress is built by hundreds of community volunteers dedicated to maintaining it’s open source origins. With thousands of plugins and themes WordPress can be transformed into almost anything you can imagine.
WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.
