WordPress Description

State-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform! WordPress project is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform and CMS with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. What a mouthful. 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. Here are some key features of "WordPress": Full standards compliance: · We have gone to great lengths to make sure every bit of WordPress generated code is in full compliance with the standards of the W3C. This is important not only for interoperability with today's browser but also for forward compatibility with the tools of the next generation. Your web site is a beautiful thing, and you should demand nothing less. No rebuilding: · Changes you make to your templates or entries are reflected immediately on your site, with no need for regenerating static pages. WordPress Pages: · Pages allow you to manage non-blog content easily, so for example you could have a static "About" page that you manage through WordPress. For an idea of how powerful this is, the entire WordPress.org site could be run off WordPress alone. (We don't for technical mirroring reasons.) WordPress Links: · Links allows you to create, maintain, and update any number of blogrolls through your administration interface. This is much faster than calling an external blogroll manager. WordPress Themes: · WordPress comes with a full theme system which makes designing everything from the simplest blog to the most complicated webzine a piece of cake, and you can even have multiple themes with totally different looks that you switch with a single click. Have a new design every day. Cross-blog communication tools: · WordPress fully supports both the Trackback and Pingback standards, and we are committed to supporting future standards as they develop. Comments: · Visitors to your site can leave comments on individual entries, and through Trackback or Pingback can comment on their own site. You can enable or disable comments on a per-post basis. Spam protection: · Out of the box WordPress comes with very robust tools such as an integrated blacklist and open proxy checker to manage and eliminate comment spam on your blog, and there is also a rich array of plugins that can take this functionality a step further. Full user registration: · WordPress has a built-in user registration system that (if you choose) can allow people to register and maintain profiles and leave authenticated comments on your blog. You can optionally close comments for non-registered users. There are also plugins that hide posts from lower level users. Password Protected Posts: · You can give passwords to individual posts to hide them from the public. You can also have private posts which are viewable only by their author. Easy installation and upgrades: · Installing WordPress and upgrading from previous versions and other software is a piece of cake. Try it and you'll wonder why all web software isn't this easy. Easy Importing: · We currently have importers for Movable Type, Textpattern, Greymatter, Blogger, and b2. Work on importers for Nucleus and pMachine are under way. XML-RPC interface: · WordPress currently supports an extended version of the Blogger API, MetaWeblog API, and finally the MovableType API. You can even use clients designed for other platforms like Zempt. Workflow: · You can have types of users that can only post drafts, not publish to the front page. Typographical niceties: · WordPress uses the Texturize engine to intelligently convert plain ASCII into typographically correct XHTML entities. This includes quotes, apostrophes, ellipses, em and en dashes, multiplication symbols, and ampersands. For information about the proper use of such entities see Peter Sheerin's article The Trouble With Em ?n En. Intelligent text formatting: · If you've dealt with systems that convert new lines to line breaks before you know why they have a bad name: if you have any sort of HTML they butcher it by putting tags after every new line indiscriminately, breaking your formatting and validation. Our function for this intelligently avoids places where you already have breaks and block-level HTML tags, so you can leave it on without worrying about it breaking your code. Multiple authors: · WordPress' highly advanced user system allows up to 10 levels of users, with different levels having different (and configurable) privileges with regard to publishing, editing, options, and other users. Bookmarklets: · Cross-browser bookmarklets make it easy to publish to your blog or add links to your blogroll with a minimum of effort. Ping away: · WordPress supports pinging Ping-O-Matic, which means maximum exposure for your blog to search engines. What's New in This Release: · Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete. · Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements. · Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading. · Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release). 2.9 provides the smoothest ride yet because of a number of improvements under the hood and more subtle improvements you’ll begin to appreciate once you’ve been around the block a few times. Here’s just a sampling: · We now have rel=canonical support for better SEO. · There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your wp-config.php file by adding define('WP_ALLOW_REPAIR', true);. · Themes can register “post thumbnails” which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes. · A new commentmeta table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework. · Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.) · You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server. · We’ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie. · Sidebars can now have descriptions so it’s more obvious what and where they do what they do. · Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories — like post types! · Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user’s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine. · The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues. · Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one. · When you’re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!) · The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet. · Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly. · Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query
