What is Wordpress?
Wordpress is an open source blogging platform that allows you to build websites/blogs in the matter of minutes. Wordpress has a strong community of developers which puts Wordpress on the forefront of simple, professional website building. It couldn’t be any easier to build a website, than with Wordpress. The community has collections of thousand of themes (change the look and feel of your site) free for download. The community also has thousands of plugins (adds additional functionalality, such as shopping carts, advertisement, contact forms, and more) free for download. All of this can be found on Wordpress.org. To find the themes and plugins, check out http://www.wordpress.org/extend.
What you may not know about Wordpress

I wish I saw this video before I downloaded WP. Very nice. Do you have any tutorials on how to edit a theme without knowing html? Is that even possible? I’m completely lost
Thank you, unfortunately I don’t have any Wordpress videos to them edits. There are a few theme frameworks out there that allow you to edit the layout of your theme without knowing code, but for most Wordpress themes, it requires code editing.
