WordPress

If you are looking for an open-source publishing platform and a content management system then Wordpress is one of the leading players in the market. The support for blogs, the management by using themes and the customization of templates are few of the slaient features of Wordpress. Wordpress features integrated link management and also supports search-engine optimization and also allows multiple blogs to exist within a single installation.

The security aspects of using the templates in Wordpress is something to be looked into. Also in databases only MYSQL is supported whereas the Oracle is not supported at all. Also some of the themes and plug-ins seem out of date. I also felt that WordPress is designed for small content websites and this lack of flexibility is exposed when developing large websites and incurs additional costs. Also changing a URL to a wordpress blog can be quite a challenge.

Our organization uses WordPress as the content management platform for managing our blogs. It provides our representatives a easy platform for writing and managing content. It is quite simple and pretty easy to develop the themes and plugins. There is a big plugin library available too for customization. Above all WordPress is Open Source licensing and so it is free and available for all to use.
