WordPress is the CMS of choice for bloggers, appreciated for its harmonious themes and its very functional side, well suited to writing and formatting articles. WordPress and Joomla are often compared for creating a showcase site or blog. But unlike its competitor, WordPress has a very active community and you will easily find plugins to transform its use.
