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.
WordPress started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins, widgets, and themes, WordPress is limited only by your imagination.
WordPress is extremely intuitive, so it's a great content management system (CMS) for beginners. WordPress first got its start as a blogging platform, and many people still mistakenly believe it cannot be used a CMS. However, WordPress has grown so much over the past few years, that tons of people are using it to create simple blogs, professional websites, and even online stores!
If you don't have a lot of technical knowledge, then we definitely recommend using Wordpress for your website or blog. There are tons of free and premium plugins available for Wordpress, so you can customise your site to meet your needs. However, you may want to be careful about making a lot of modifications to WordPress, as these alterations may cause your site to break when you upgrade to the latest version (and you should always keep your installation up to date, because it helps prevent your site from being hacked).
In fact, a lot of developers dislike using WordPress for this exact reason: they make tons of cool modifications to a WordPress site, then they upgrade to the latest version, and often times the site breaks or their changes disappear. If you're a beginner, then we don't recommend using a lot of plugins to modify your Wordpress site until you've gained more technical knowledge. WordPress has a large and active community of developers and users to help you out, so we definitely recommend checking out their official website when you're having trouble or you just want to learn more about this CMS.
Wordpress can be used by almost anyone, no matter whether you're a novice or a pro. That's one of the great things about it and why it has become the most popular open source blog / content management systems available.
