7. Content Management System
A content management system (Web CMS) is a bundled
or stand-alone application to create, deploy, manage and
store content on Web pages. Web content includes text
and embedded graphics, photos, video, audio, and code
(e.g., for applications) that displays content or interacts
with the user. A Web CMS may catalog and index content,
select or assemble content at runtime, or deliver content to
specific visitors in a requested way, such as other
languages. Web CMSs usually allow client control over
HTML-based content, files, documents, and Web hosting
plans based on the system depth and the niche it serves.
10. WordPress is an open-source and free Web publishing
application, content management system (CMS) and
blogging tool built by a community of developers and
contributors.
WordPress allows users to build dynamic websites and
blogs that may be updated, customized and managed from
its back-end CMS and integrated application and
components.
11. 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 ten millions of people every day.
Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little co-founded WordPress.
