Im looking to create a blog site. But not just me. Should I use WORDPRESS?

  • What are the capabilities of WordPress using the standard or business liscence? I don’t want simply a blog site for myself, but a site where users can blog their own content and upload it with other information. Create profiles. And much more.

    I was hoping the biggest package with WordPress could handle this for me.

    I will look into it, but thought I’d throw this out in the forums right away to see if someone can stop me in my tracks.

    What can & [cant] WordPress do?

    And what about the coding aspect of it? I’m a decent CSS/HTML coder. Will this come in handy?

    Where are you getting this info about business and standard licenses?

    Ill look for the link. ATM I know certain themes cost money. I’ll try and dig up the part where I found it saying $360 US / year for full options including CMS, backend, customizable themes, and what not.

    What exactly is WordPress? I thought you could use it to power bigger sites, not just make a blog.

    For instance, I think metro.co.uk uses the business package.

    This is the link to their business package.

    I guess I could handle the premium, but I want to know. Is WordPress for blogging? Or is it the equivalent of WIX.com where you can make anything if you know what your doing.

    The WordPress software distributed on www.remarpro.com is different to the one that is available on WordPress.com. One is an open source project and the other is a service provided by the ‘Automattic’ company https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
