WordPress was started in 2003 out of a desire for elegant and well-structured personal publishing system and it has for the past decade or so grown to become one of the most popular blogging platforms that there is and according to Blogging.org’s blogging statistic, it is the preferred blogging platform with 43% of bloggers opting to use it while Blogger follows closely at 35% and the remaining 22% is shared out among the rest of the blogging platforms like Tumblr, Typepad and Posterous.
