What are content management systems? What is WordPress?
A common software tool I’ve always heard about but have never looked into are content management systems (CMS). I would always hear the acronym “C-M-S” in conversation, often followed by “like WordPress”. So to me a CMS was like a blogging app. If you are using a CMS for a blog, the simplification is decent, but CMS are not just for blogs. Content management systems allow users to create, manage, and publish their digital content. Digital content encompass more than blog posts. Photos, videos, audio, webpages, product listings, etc… I have had little exposure using CMS applications even though I’ve worked as a web developer profesionally the last 5 years. I figured it was about time I spend some time looking into CMS applications and I figured a good place to start is with the world’s most popular CMS, WordPress.
