Research: WordPress

The web group is looking to create the web site using WordPress. Here is an explanation about wordpress found on: www.wordpresstemplates.com


What WordPress is: 
WordPress is one of the best Content Management Systems (CMS) with heavy emphasys on blogging. It is written purely in PHP and uses a MySql database. The name WordPress was suggested by Christine Selleck, a friend of lead developer Matt Mullenweg. WordPress releases are usually code named after known jazz musicians starting with Version 1.0. Version .70 was released on May 27th, 2003 and contained the same file structure as it's predecessor, b2\cafelog. 


I had a look at some examples of the different templates that can be used and found that there is a huge and diverse range allowing for a wide range of choice for the web group team. Here is an image with a few example of the diverse range that can be found.
