If you plan to start your own blog website, the best
choice for a blog application is WordPress. WordPress has intuitive easy to use administration tools
which makeit easy to compose, post, and publish
your blog with just one click!
WordPress Features:
Full standards compliance
— We have gone to great lengths to make sure every bit of WordPress
generated code is in full compliance with the standards of the WC3.
This is important not only for interoperability with today's browser
but also for forward compatibility with the tools of the next
generation. Your web site is a beautiful thing, and you should demand
nothing less.
No rebuilding — Changes
you make to your templates or entries are reflected immediately on your
site, with no need for regenerating static pages.
WordPress Pages
— Pages allow you to manage non-blog content easily, so for example you
could have a static "About" page that you manage through WordPress. For
an idea of how powerful this is, the entire WordPress.org site could be
run off WordPress alone. (We don't for technical mirroring reasons.)
WordPress Links
-- Links allows you to create, maintain, and update any number of
blogrolls through your administration interface. This is much faster
than calling an external blogroll manager.
WordPress Themes — WordPress comes with a full theme system
which makes designing everything from the simplest blog to the most
complicated webzine a piece of cake, and you can even have multiple
themes with totally different looks that you switch with a single
click. Have a new design every day.
Cross-blog communication tools— WordPress fully supports both the Trackback and Pingback standards, and we are committed to supporting future standards as they develop.
Comments
— Visitors to your site can leave comments on individual entries, and
through Trackback or Pingback can comment on their own site. You can
enable or disable comments on a per-post basis.
Spam protection
— Out of the box WordPress comes with very robust tools such as an
integrated blacklist and open proxy checker to manage and eliminate
comment spam on your blog, and there is also a rich array of plugins
that can take this functionality a step further.
Full user registration
— WordPress has a built-in user registration system that (if you
choose) can allow people to register and maintain profiles and leave
authenticated comments on your blog. You can optionally close comments
for non-registered users. There are also plugins that hide posts from
lower level users.
Password Protected Posts — You can give
passwords to individual posts to hide them from the public. You can
also have private posts which are viewable only by their author.
Easy installation and upgrades
— Installing WordPress and upgrading from previous versions and other
software is a piece of cake. Try it and you'll wonder why all web
software isn't this easy.
Easy Importing
— We currently have importers for Movable Type, Textpattern,
Greymatter, Blogger, and b2. Work on importers for Nucleus and pMachine
are under way.
XML-RPC interface — WordPress currently supports an extended version of the Blogger API, MetaWeblog API, and finally the MovableType API.
Workflow — You can have types of users that can only post drafts, not publish to the front page.
Typographical niceties — WordPress uses the Texturize
engine to intelligently convert plain ASCII into typographically
correct XHTML entities. This includes quotes, apostrophes, ellipses, em
and en dashes, multiplication symbols, and ampersands.
Intelligent text formatting
— If you've dealt with systems that convert new lines to line breaks
before you know why they have a bad name: if you have any sort of HTML
they butcher it by putting tags after every new line indiscriminately,
breaking your formatting and validation. Our function for this
intelligently avoids places where you already have breaks and
block-level HTML tags, so you can leave it on without worrying about it
breaking your code.
Multiple authors —
WordPress' highly advanced user system allows up to 10 levels of users,
with different levels having different (and configurable) privileges
with regard to publishing, editing, options, and other users.
Bookmarklets — Cross-browser bookmarklets make it easy to publish to your blog or add links to your blogroll with a minimum of effort.
Ping away — WordPress supports pinging Ping-O-Matic, which means maximum exposure for your blog to search engines
