WordPress is one of the most popular programs for creating and running blogs. WordPress powers millions of blogs worldwide. So, why is WordPress so popular?

There are multiple reasons for why WordPress is so popular; I am going to outline just a few of them. With WordPress a blogger can:

1. Create static pages.
2. Create site maps.
3. Display the lists of recent comments and trackbacks.
4. Subscribe to comments.
5. Generate RSS feeds for blog content and comments.
6. Automatically create and manage tags.
7. Use PHP to modify the behavior of WordPress.
8. Add lists of related posts at the bottom of each post.
9. Use pagination for long posts.
10. Use spam protection plug-ins.
11. Use many of thousands of available plug-ins to add search engine optimization, communication, social networking, and many other features to the blog.

It is not too hard to learn the basics of how to use WordPress, but it becomes quite tricky if you want to give your blog a unique look and feel.

WordPress recommends the WordPress for Dummies book for anyone who want to make the most out of their WordPress blogs.

What will you find in this book? This book covers everything that needs to be known about installing, configuring, and managing a WordPress blog.
