WordPress Features





Managing and Administering

Locally Install

WordPress is designed in a manner to enable you to install it on your own web server/

shared hosting account that renders weblog completely under your control. If required,

you are allowed to access/modify everything concerning weblog.

Portable Core

The wordPress related files and their placements are highly configurable. For example, if

you want your weblog at http://example.com (public_html - the public "root" of your

webserver or hosting account) and you want to store the wordPress related files and

directory tree in http://example.com/wordpress (public_html/wordpress), you can!

UTC-friendly

WordPress lets you define time as an offset from UTC (Universal Coordinated Time), so

all the elements related to time are stored in the database as GMT values- a universal

standard. Furthermore, this lets you display correct time on your weblog, irrespective of

the location of host server.

User Management

WordPress makes use of user-levels for controlling user-access to various key features,

thereby enabling you to restrict the individual user’s ability to create/modify content in

your weblog, by changing their user-level.

User Profiles

Users on your weblog can create a profile detailing their email address, IM aliases etc, if

required. Users can also control the manner their details are displayed on their weblog

in.





Easy installation and upgrade

The famous 5 minute install of WordPress is simply unmatched when it comes to ease of

use and simplicity. It’s quite simple to upgrade WordPress to newer versions.

Furthermore, it doesn’t take much time for installation!

Dynamic page generation

You don’t need to rebuild the pages every time your weblog needs to be updated. It’s

quite easy and fast to update your weblog or its design. Furthermore, minimal storage

space is required on the server for this.

Internationalization and Localization

Creating a weblog localized as per your choice, and delivering in a language you like is

easy. For translating and localizing the WordPress to its full extend, the gettext method

is used.





Publicizing Your Work

Feeds

WordPress fully supports the RSS 1.0 (aka RDF), RSS 2.0 and ATOM specifications.

Moreover, just any page on your weblog has an associated feed that your readers can

subscribe to - there's a feed for the latest posts, for categories, comments, well, like we

said earlier, for anything you want. The easier your readers find it to view and check the

various sections of your weblog, the simpler it will be for you to convey your message.

WordPress also fully supports RSS 2.0 with enclosures, so adding mp3 files (such as

podcasts) to your RSS feeds is a snap.

Cruft-free Permalinks

You can ensure that the URLs for all pages in your weblog conform to a standard, cruft-

free system, and all the links are structured, sensible, and understandable to human and

machines including search engines. Clean URLs are essential for SEO and a better user-

experience.

Inter-blog Communication

In an increasingly vast and connected world, WordPress comes ready for TrackBack and

PingBack - two great ways of connecting to other weblogs, and allow them to do the

same.





Customizing the Design

Template Driven Design

WordPress uses templates to generate the pages dynamically enabling you to control

the presentation of content by editing the templates using the Template Tags and

Template Editor tool. You can also edit your templates and other related files with the

help of the file editor in your browser without downloading and uploading the files.





Themes

Wordpress allow users to change the look & functionality without altering the

informational content by just switching the themes. The PHP and HTML code in themes

can also be edited for more advanced customizations. You can also create and share

your own themes.

Template Tags

Template tags are used within blog's Templates to display information dynamically or to

customize your blog. It make easier to design the content and information displayed on

your weblog. Various tags are:

General tags

Author tags

Bookmark tags

Category tags

Comment tags

Link tags

Post tags

Post Thumbnail tags

Navigation Menu tags

Plugins

WordPress rich plugin architecture allows users and developers to extend its

functionality beyond the features that come as part of the base install. Plugins extend

the core functionality of your weblog.





Widgets

Widgets offer users drag-and-drop sidebar content placement and implementation of

many plugins extended capabilities. Users can rearrange widgets without editing PHP or

HTML code.





Creating Content

Password Protection

If you want to share any article with some of the people only, you can make it password

protected.

Post Slug

It is used to clean the PermaLinks to create more search engine and user friendly URLs.

Post to the future

You can write a post today and have it appear on the weblog at a future date,

automatically.

Multi Paged Posts

If your post is too long than you can cut it up into pages, so your readers don't have to

scroll to the end.

File/Picture Uploading

You can upload pictures or files, and link to them or display them in your articles. You

can also create thumbnails of pictures when you upload them.

Categories

Organize your posts into categories, and sub-categories, and sub-sub categories...

Emoticons

WordPress is smart enough to convert character smileys, like ":)" into the graphical

image counterparts.

Save Drafts

Save your unfinished articles, improve them later, publish when you're done.





Previewing Posts

Before you "Publish" your post, you can look at the preview for the article to check if

everything is the way you want it.

Desktop Tools

You can also use desktop blogging tools instead of browser to update your weblog.

Blog by email

You can send your posts as an email and have them appear on the weblog.

Bookmarklets

Wordpress also provide bookmarklets to your browser.

Sidebar

If you don't like a bookmarklet, use our friendly browser sidebar, which can be used in a

similar fashion.

Formatting

WordPress is something that actually makes your words and pages more readable and,

therefore, appealing. WordPress comes with plugins for text-formatting for cleaning up

your content and, thereby, making it free from typos.





Archives and Search

Archiving

After a long period of blogging, it extremely matters how well you organize your blog

posts. WordPress offers various options to display the archives of your blog, containing

all the old posts. You can easily link your archive posts to any of the post or page in your

blog and alos you can opt from yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, and category-wise or

author-wise archives.

Searching

WordPress has a functional built-in search tool, which allows visitors to your blog to

search for terms they are interested in, and the search-hilite plugin that ships with

WordPress can highlight their search terms, so it is even easier for them to find what

they were searching for. In addition to this, the plugin also does the same for someone

who arrives at your blog by clicking at a search result in a search engine, such as google.

All in all, searching is fun, with WordPress.





Discussion and Comments

Community Building

WordPress helps in building communities around weblogs, through the use of

comments, trackbacks and pingbacks, which helps you, keep in touch with the audience.

Notification

WordPress can keep you in the loop by sending you an email each time there is a new

comment or a comment awaiting moderation.





Moderation

For the control freak in all of us, WordPress provides an array of moderation options.

You can moderate all comments before they appear on the blog

comments with specific words in them

comments posted from specific IP addresses

comments containing more than some specified number of links.

All these moderation options keep spammers and vandals in check.
