WordPress.com is a free, open source, content management system that people with access to the Web can use to express themselves. Users can host a blog or also use WordPress as a static website, the beauty of WordPress is its flexibility and ease of use. Although billed as a "blogging tool," WordPress can actually be used as the foundation for a variety of Web sites and services (e.g., personal homepages, electronic portfolios). This article provides general information about WordPress and its support at WSU.
