Wordpress is a blogging platform which is Open Source, and free. You can find out more about it and sign up for a free account at www.wordpress.org 

Open Source means that the software is not owned by anyone, and so is free to end users. It also means that software is developed in a loose global collaboration, anyone can pick up open source software, modify and improve it, and allow anyone else to do the same with their contribution.

From modest beginnings in 2003, when it was used by only a few developers, Wordpress has become one of the preferred choices for blogging software. As with Blogger, you have a choice as to how you use Wordpress. You can have the site hosted by them, click here to get a free account, or you can download the software and host it on your own hosting account. Checking that site today reveals that wordpress host 1,864,583 blogs on their servers, and that over 64,000 posts have been made to those blogs today.

So why might you be interested in using Wordpress to build your websites?
