WordPress was improved a lot in past years
I have been using WordPress on my blogs in the past three years and it literarily grew before my eyes evolving from a small little CMS to one hell of an extensible blogging platform used by millions.
And what’s beautiful about it is that everyone can enjoy it, even if they don’t own a hosting plan or a domain name, by creating a free account on WordPress.com, with a few limitations of course.

So, let’s see what WordPress has managed to add in past years. It’s not a complete list so feel free to remind me the changes that matter most to you.
- The admin interface evolved a lot, making common tasks very easy: editing, writing, changing settings. The admin windows order can even be tweaked to your convenience
- post tags and tag cloud
- nested and paged comments
- theme widgets and multiple sidebars
- advanced post editor with functions for text editing and media manager (pictures, animations and audio)
- page and category templates
- theme editor directly from admin pages
- auto updater for the WordPress files
- manual updater for plugins and new plugin notifier
- impost and export for blog posts
Those are the most important changes WordPress undergone in the past years, but there are also a lot of small changes that make WordPress one of the most flexible blogging platforms on the web today.
