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.

On behalf of the entire WordPress team, I’m proud and excited to announce the immediate availability of version 2.2 “Getz” for download. This version includes a number of new features, most notably Widgets integration, and over two hundred bug fixes. It’s named in honor of tenor saxophonist Stan Getz. In addition there were also dozens of UI and accessibility improvements, ranging from more concise wording around options and links to things like a view and preview link above the content box when you’re editing a post or page.

簡單的說，Wordpress是一個BLOG程序，用它你可以架設完全屬于你自己的BLOG。而Wordpress現在的應用又不僅僅只是在BLOG方面，因為其強大的擴展性，部分網站甚至已經開始使用Wordpress來架設，或者說這些BLOG你甚至都看不出它們只是BLOG而已了。

WordPress 是一套blog架設工具，是在國外與中文世界，許多人決定自行架設blog站臺時的眾多選擇之一。注重美感、網頁標準以及可用性的，最先進的個人出版平臺。WordPress 使用Apache 網頁服務器、PHP 動態網頁語言以及 MySQL 數據庫開發(也有支持 PostgreSQL 數據庫的版本)，是使用 GNU 公共授權(GPL)授權的開放原始碼自由軟件。
