WordPress is a personal publishing platform and blogging application with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
Features:
- Additional pages allow you to manage non-blog content easily, so for example you could have a static "About Me" page.
- A full theme system enables designing everything from the simplest blog to the most complicated webzine a piece of cake.
- Changes made to templates and entries are reflected immediately on your site, with no need for regenerating static pages, and all generated HTML is fully compliant with W3C standards.
- Trackback and Pingback standards fully supported.
- Visitors can post comments on your blog entries, and commenting can be disabled on a per-post basis.
- Spam protection eliminates comment spam from your blog.
- User registration enables visitors to register and maintain profiles and leave authenticated comments on your blog, if enabled.
- Password Protected Posts enables you to give passwords to individual posts to hide them from the public.
- A full XML-RPC interface enables you to extend WordPress and use clients designed for other platforms like Zempt.
- User groups enables up to 10 levels of users, with different levels having different (and configurable) privileges with regard to publishing, editing, options, and other users.
- Bookmarklets make it easy to publish to your blog or add links to your blogroll with a minimum of effort.
- Ping-O-Matic is supported, which means maximum exposure for your blog to search engines.
