WordPress

WordPress is a blogging tool. A blog (web-log) is an online journal, diary or commentary, presented as a website. Generally, one or more contributors (bloggers) add new content to the top of the website on a semi-regular basis.

There are many ways that you can get access to WordPress :

  1. sign up for an account on the WordPress site
  2. install your own WordPress

The first option is the easiest. WordPress maintains their own website that provides free blogging accounts. To create yourself an account you simply need to visit the WordPress site and create your own account :

http://wordpress.com/signup/

If you wish to have more control over how WordPress is configured you may wish to choose the second option - installing WordPress yourself. In this case you need to visit the download site:

http://wordpress.org/download/

This second option is not recommended if you have no experience installing and setting up softwares on servers.
