Since then it’s growing and is already the world largest self-hosted blogging tool, used and seen by tens of millions of people every day.
WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. We are free to use it for anything from your dog’s home page to a news website without paying anyone a license fee or anything. It was actually created as an easy way to set up a blog. But now WordPress has become much more than just a tool for bloggers because of the efforts of a large “open source” community of WordPress programmers working to extend and improve its capabilities.
