WordPress was born in 2003 when Mike Little and Matt Mullenweg created a fork of the defunct b2/cafelog CMS created by French PHP programmer Michel Valdrighi in 2001.
The need for an elegant and well-designed personal publishing system was evident even then. Today, WordPress is based on PHP and MySQL, is GPLv2 licensed, and is also the platform of choice for more than 42% of all websites on the internet.
This open source WordPress project has evolved progressively over time, with the support of expert developers and enthusiasts, designers, scientists, bloggers and others.

People with little experience in technology, design or programming can use it "just like that", and experts can customise it almost without limits.
Here you will find articles related to this popular and veteran CMS, its plugins, optimisation tips, bug fixes, etc.

You know, something along the lines of "it happened on a day like today x years ago". The most popular ... Read more
