WordPress is web software you can use to create a website or blog.
It can be easily installed on your Ecologicalhosting hosting account – you just need sufficient web space (approx. 15MB) and a mysql database.
There are lots of plugins and themes, many of which are free – some of which incur a small purchase or ongoing support cost.
Themes – are pre-defined templates that change the visual layout, functionality, fonts and colours used in your website.
Plugins – extend WordPress to do almost anything you can imagine.
WordPress History
WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.
