If you are thinking to start your own blog then WordPress is the right tool to go for. My friends have been using it for long time and some of them have built impressive blog site using WordPress. Myself I like it, not because it is free but it is simple, easy, light yet powerful. It has features of most of modern Content Management System (CMS) for blogging and it is most widely used over the Internet. Let me highlight some of the features of WordPress.

1. Easy to Install

One of the reason people run away from using CMS because they are hard to install and configure. WordPress is very easy while installing. Just need three click and you are ready with your blog. If you do not have your own domain name and web space, don't worry, still you can register free with wordress.org site and start blogging.

2. Nice Interface

Interface is another big factor which determines whether CMS will continue for long or not and will be liked by others. Interface help users to learn and understand particular software quickly. WordPress has nice blue Default interface. Administrative interface is blue with meaningful links. Links are placed just at right places so that you do not have to search around. You can spell check your post, edit it easily with rich text based editor. 

3. Customizable

If you know PHP and CSS then easily you can customize your WordPress blog with editing few files, which can be done easily. Editing of these files can be done right from inside WordPress; that means you don’t have to download these files, change them and upload them again. Do not worry if you do not know PHP or CSS, there are ready-made plugging, themes and Widgets to make your job easy.

4. Huge support team

You are worried that you may run into trouble and there will be no one to help you out! Forget about it, there are huge number of blogger's and support team behind you. Any problem, just post it on one of many forums for WordPress; your problem will be solve in couple of hours.

5. Lots of plugging /Themes

Enhance beauty and functionality of your site with lots of freely available WordPress plugings and themes. Once you have mastered WordPress you can write your own themes and plug-ins.

6. It is free

They say free things are not good, but the fans of WordPress have proved it wrong. Everyday WordPress users are increasing. WordPress is becoming better and powerful everyday. Furthermore support for WordPress like coding, forum, themes, etc increasing everyday.
