When a Blogging Tool Became the Internet's Operating System
WordPress now powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. Let that sink in-nearly half the web runs on software that started as a simple blogging platform in 2003. From personal journals to The New York Times, from small business sites to Fortune 500 corporate portals, WordPress has become the great equalizer of web publishing. What makes this remarkable isn't just the numbers-it's that something designed for writing diary entries evolved into the backbone of digital commerce, media empires, and everything in between. The famous "five-minute install" isn't marketing hype; you genuinely can go from zero to published content faster than it takes to make coffee. This accessibility, combined with near-infinite extensibility, transformed web publishing from an exclusive club requiring technical expertise into something anyone with an internet connection can master. Getting WordPress running requires surprisingly little: PHP 5.2.4+, MySQL 5.0+, and optionally mod_rewrite for cleaner URLs. The installation process walks you through database configuration with a user-friendly interface, though manual setup remains available for those who prefer direct control. The real power lies in the wp-config.php file-your installation's control center. Beyond basic database credentials, this file lets you override site URLs, relocate content directories, control post revisions, adjust autosave intervals, and activate multisite functionality, all bypassing the admin interface when needed.
