First and foremost, WordPress is not a blogging system, it’s a full-blown content management system (CMS) that powers almost 20% of all websites on the internet. There’s a reason why more and more people are turning to WordPress to build their new websites too – and it’s not because WordPress is free (although the price definitely doesn’t hurt).
