inside out – STEP 005 | Installing Our WordPress Site – Lesson
Overview
Now that we are beginning to set up our inside out WordPress Website we will start to explore what WordPress is and some insights around using WordPress.
WordPress began as a blogging platform and gained popularity quickly resulting from it being an open source platform. By allowing the world to make contributions to its functionalities (creating plugins and themes) and distributing it freely WordPress has become more than just a blog website. It is used by small businesses as a primary revenue opportunity as well as by enterprise organizations for a myriad of business solutions. Because WordPress has a permission-based framework built into it many use it as a tool to communicate and maintain organizational business information and activities. It is almost certain that, no matter what industry you are in – or position you maintain, that you will interact with WordPress.
I highly advise that you take advantage of this opportunity to become as familiar as you can with WordPress considering that it may be a strategic resource in your professional future.
