WordPress
The world's most widely used open source blogging system
The most widely used open source blogging system in the world, WordPress (WP or WordPress.org for short) is a content management system (CMS). It was originally designed as a blog publishing tool, but has since evolved to support publishing other types of web content, including traditional websites, mailing lists, online forums, media galleries, membership websites, learning management systems, and online stores. As a free and open source software, WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems. As of December 2023, 43.1% of the top 10 million websites in the world use WordPress.
