It's perfect for blogging.
Wordpress is used by some petty big names such as CNN, Webmonkey and The Wall Street Journal; all for theblog section of their websites
It's more than just a blog!
Wordpress is the default template for the ubiquitous blog. But it's more than that. There are some companies, such as Wall Street Journal Magazine that use it as a stand-alone site. It's used for businesses, religions and other movements.
Large support
Because Wordpress has so many devotees the support out there is tremendous. Google Wordpress and you'll get about 219,000,000 results for it. Because it's popular, it's been blogged about like crazy and if you're having problems with it you can bet that someone else has had the same problem and solved it.
Widgets
Wordpress comes with Widgets built into the fabric of the site. The Widgets cover all sorts of topics such as social media and RSS they take the legwork out of writing code.
Flexibility
It's the ability of Wordpress to be customized that really shows it off. From text placement, typeface, colours, images it's all there ready to be bent into shape to suit every need there is out there.
Cost
There are two reasons that the cost of Wordpress is ridiculously cheap. Firstly, the initial outlay on Wordpress can be very low even premium-style Wordpress software such as Woothemes will not only give you high-gloss results but also not hurt your pocket too much. Secondly, it's easy to customize and play with once it's up-and-running. For you, this means that if you're doing the web-work yourself you'll save yourself a meltdown as you go. But if you're PAYING someone to fix-up your website for you and you need further technical support from them, the ease of Wordpress means that you won't get a shock when you're billed for the hours out in by your technicians.
