WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.

WordPress was born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architectured personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPL.

It is the official successor of b2/cafelog. WordPress is fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2001.

It is a mature and stable product. We hope by focusing on user experience and web standards we can create a tool different from anything else out there.
