<p><strong>About Wordpress:</strong></p><p>Wordpress began in 2003 as a piece of free blogging software created by Mike Little and Mike Mullenweg, who continues to run Wordpress.org, the company that makes WordPress available to anyone who wants to create a website or blog. In developing WordPress and making it perpetually free, its creators hoped to “democratize publishing” by designing a site building program that could allow anyone to have a voice and presence online.</p><p style="text-align: start">The features that made WordPress so appealing to bloggers and other kinds of Internet publishers also appealed to a far wider audience, including some of the most prominent companies in the US and around the world. Now, WordPress is the platform of choice for a long list of household names including Sony Music, Variety, Time, Inc. and the Disney Company, along with millions of smaller business and personal sites. The most recent version of the platform has been downloaded over 22 million times so far, and new versions continue to be developed by the large WordPress user community.</p>
