WordPress is an amazingly versatile platform that can be used for creating anything from private diaries to Internet hotspots that routinely gather hundreds of thousands of page views per day, such as TechCrunch or Forbes.

One of the features that make the open source blogging platform so popular with beginners and pros alike, is WordPress’ wide open architecture. Few other applications are as open and DIY-friendly as WordPress. Even better, everything is completely free. With surprisingly little prior technical knowledge, you can tweak every aspect of your WordPress installation. And you’re not limited to the appearance of the website. Thousands of plug-ins (extensions) are available for free, allowing you to vastly improve and modify the functionality of your blog.

Even if you’re a WordPress beginner (or even a complete computer newbie), you may be surprised to find out the many amazing things you can do with your blog. With a little patience and a good WordPress hosting service, you can set up your blog, apply some fresh paint (the theme), make some home improvements (with plug-ins), and then settle in your new Internet home, all in a matter of hours.
