You can’t add functionality to your WordPress site very quickly, in that case plugin comes very
handy . WordPress provide many quality plugins which makes your task easy & quick. Best of all,
you can get free plugins to do most things perfectly well. Most plugins are downloaded, installed
and configured in a no time. WordPress emphasis on ease-of-use seems to have rubbed off on the
plug-in writers!

Drupal and Joomla are design as complete CMS whereas WordPress was designed to solve
problems. This is because WordPress has a clear target audience (bloggers).
