WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL.

WordPress is installed on a web server that is either part of an Internet hosting service or a network host in its own right.

The first case may be a service like WordPress.com, for example, and the second case could be a computer running the software package WordPress.org.

A local computer may be used for single-user testing and learning purposes.

Features include a plugin architecture and a template system.

WordPress was used by more than 27.5% of the top 10 million websites.

WordPress is reportedly the most popular website management or blogging system in use on the Web, supporting more than 60 million websites.

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source code made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any purpose.

Open-source software may be developed in a collaborative public manner.

According to scientists who studied it, open-source software is a prominent example of open collaboration.

A content management system (CMS) is a computer application that supports the creation and modification of digital content.

It is often used to support multiple users working in a collaborative environment.

A blog (a truncation of the expression weblog) is a discussion or informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries ("posts").

Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page.

Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic.

In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and sometimes professionally edited.

MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, advocacy groups, and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic.

The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into the news media.

Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server.

A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the Internet, or a private local area network (LAN), by referencing a uniform resource locator (URL) that identifies the site.
