What is WordPress?

WordPress is the most popular open source blog publishing software, but is also powerful enough to create business websites.  It is written in PHP and backed by a MySQL database.  WordPress is easy to use (anyone can use it, from novices to advanced programmers), has a rich text editor that supports multimedia, can be expanded by adding modules (modules can add more features to your website), and is open source, meaning it is free to install and use.
