Practical Perl Tools: Blog, Can We Talk?

Author(s): 

David N. Blank–Edelman

According to some figures (those at http://w3techs.com/technologies /details/cm-wordpress/all/all to be precise), WordPress powers 24.2% of the sites on the Internet. I don’t have any reason to doubt that number. WordPress (WP) has lots of great things going for it when you are looking to bring up a Web site containing dynamic content. Beginners can grasp it fairly quickly, it has a huge and vibrant ecosystem, a strong development effort, oh, and it’s free. It’s my “goto” tool when someone comes to me and needs my help building a Web site for their aardvark repair company or whatnot. It may have started as blogging software, but it has evolved far beyond that over the years into a reasonable Web development platform.
