WordPress is not only the most popular but also most widely used CMS (Content Management System). Although its commonly used as a blogging platform while at the same time its preferred by a major part of the world as a general CMS as well. One of the primative reasons behind why I’m writing my first informative post on this blog is about wordpress is that this blog is running on wordpress too. I’ve been a huge fan of it since beginning and I use wordpress itself in almost all of my projects.I suppose this is going to take long so rather than elaborating each feature it possess I’ll highlight its key features why I and everyone else loves wordpress and what makes it the Most Powerful CMS among the hundreds of CMS’s around.
