Content Management Systems

Firstly, what is a Content Management System (CMS)?

A content management system is a hosted software application that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site; it therefore takes a lot of the hard work out of creating a complex and great looking site by providing a seamless interface to a database. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. The CMS engine handles all the difficult stuff so leaving you to focus on the most important part of any website - the content. So, the major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage.

Wordpress - The Bloggers Dream

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

In the words of the Wordpress developers themselves "WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it." Now, you can't want more than that when you have a brilliant blog article waiting to spill from your mind to the keyboard
