5. WordPress is an open source Content Management
System (CMS), which allows the users to build
dynamic websites and blogs. Wordpress is the most
popular blogging system on the web and allows
updating, customizing and managing the website from
its back-end CMS and components.
The Content Management System (CMS) is a
software which stores all the data such as text,
photos, music, documents, etc. and is made available
on your website. It helps in editing, publishing and
modifying the content of the website.

6. History
WordPress was initially released on 27th May, 2003 by
Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. WordPress was
announced as open source in October 2009.
As with other systems written in PHP, it is self-contained
in the sense that installation, configuration, operation,
and administration tasks are all contained in PHP
modules. WordPress’s popularity has been driven in part
by its simplicity, with the phrase “five minute
installation” making appearances in nearly every
description or book about WordPress. Beyond getting to
a first post, WordPress was designed to be extended.
