What is WordPress?

WordPress is the largest, self-hosted, blogging tool in the world and is used on hundreds of thousands of sites across the globe. The application itself is free and uses a simple online interface to help people create and maintain web sites or blogs.

Once WordPress is installed on your domain, all you need is a web browser and an Internet connection to manage your site. If you have ever used Microsoft Word, then you will find WordPress' editing interface reassuringly familiar.
