WordPress — one of the most popular content management systems (CMS). Initially, it is designed as a user blog, but it is not limited to that. This engine can be used to create multi-user blogs, corporate websites, and even complex informational portals.
The popularity of this system is due to several reasons. Firstly, this engine is free. You can download it completely for free from the official website WordPress. Secondly, it has been translated into Russian, which is particularly important for our Russian-speaking users. And thirdly, it offers excellent technical support. The official website contains all the documentation for the system in English, with key chapters translated into Russian. Additionally, there are numerous forums online where you can ask your questions and receive qualified answers.
Furthermore, countless free plugins (small special programs that expand the system's functionality) and templates have been created for WordPress, allowing any user to make their website unique and distinctive, requiring no programming knowledge. The system's source code is open, enabling advanced users to modify or enhance the program as desired.
Installing the program is extremely simple. You just need to extract the downloaded archive and copy it to hosting via the FTP protocol and type the installation address in the browser. Then just follow the required steps. Thanks to the fact that the entire administrative part of the site is in Russian, you can figure out how everything works and create your site in just a few minutes.
But you don't want to look like everyone else, do you? To do this, you need to choose and install a template that fits the theme of your website, as well as install plugins. I would highly recommend installing some of the plugins that can be classified as 'essential.' The others, which serve for design or more convenient navigation, you can install at your discretion.
And after all these manipulations, the final step is to start blogging.
