WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.

It is publishing platform, you can write blogs, articles with it. Generally speaking all of that can be done using simple HTML pages however wordpress makes it much easier because it gives a very nice interface to write the article, preview/edit, manage multimedia and publish it. It also allows you to manage comments/categories and appearance by using themes. So it is a great piece of software that does a lot with very little effort.

Does the implementation of wordpress require the knowledge of MySQL. Or you can simply upload the file downloaded form the site and start your blog. Do we have to create database?
rvec
yes you have to create a database, but that isn't too hard with Directadmin.

I just started to check WordPress myself. Here it what I found.

WordPress is usually used for creating blogs:
1. Blogs as a daily journal, day by day,
2. As articles with discussions after them,
3. Or as website with static pages, with no comments. Basic Magazine plug-in has marvelous typography.

I was thinking about installing it, but this is time consuming (if you know better, post link to your tutorial that will contain a little more details than "Follow instructions" Wink ).

To become more familiar with this, I registered for a time being with free blogging host, where WordPress is already installed. Trying to figure how it is working, its pluses and minuses, and will it suit me better then, say, html/css website or forum.

Conclusion: for average user like me html/css website is much easier than even using installed blogging software. Learning completely different rules with subscriptions alone is a time drain, when I don't plan to be involved with them (have different goals).

As a user, I don't like difficulty to find information in blogs - articles or daily journals - when new content is pushed on you without systematic presentation.

They are much easier findable by searching engines, as it seems, what is opposite to forums like phpBB (they allow easy data entry too and easier to manage, maybe because they are more familiar).

4. You can. Enter WordPress in the search box for this forum and see yourself.
5. Examples of sites:
Article: Why I Committed Blog Suicide
Website: Grumpy Old Reefer
Another article with role of comments in them quite visible: WordPress Breaks Copy-Paste. One of unadvertised features, and it takes time to find Kitchen Sink feature for formatting.
Best WordPress Sites.
This gives me headache and wish to run away as far as possible Laughing

P.S. Please, don't tell me that you don't understand what I'm saying: doing my best.

Nope. I found this theme on net. I really liked it and just used it. I did some small modification but not that significant.
