If you are reading this post  now, you are probably aware of the tremendous success WordPress platform has seen over the past few years. It has become the most widespread blogging and publishing platform in the world today. When I first installed WordPress, I was still looking around for a platform to start my personal site and also for an opportunity to do more online development work. After seeing the simple installation procedure (which takes just a few minutes), I realized that the guys behind WordPress are on to something big. It has indeed proven to be so, and as the days passed by, I have enjoyed every aspect of WordPress—publishing, social, and development. And I am thrilled to share these nits and bits of WordPress development information with you, showing you the power and flexibility that allowed WordPress to become so popular.

How will you benefit using WordPress?

Thanks to its open source architecture, ease of use, and customization possibilities, WordPress has succeeded in differentiating itself from other weblog publishing platforms and even other open source solutions.
