Due to the flexibility of its framework, WordPress is the most popular website building application in the world for fully functional Content Management System (CMS) websites. Over 14% of the 1,000,000 biggest websites in the world use WordPress. This figure is growing fast – just see Google Trends here.

Many of the world’s biggest and most successful web-based businesses (eBay*, Yahoo*, Flickr*), companies (Sony*, Samsung*, Ford*), universities (Harvard*, MIT*), news networks (CNN*, NY Times*) and brands (KrispyKreme*, Ben and Jerry’s*), have chosen WordPress for all the great features it has to offer.

Search the text for “wp-” (CTRL+F to find/search text and enter “wp-”) and you will see the WordPress file structures (e.g. /wp-content/, /wp-themes, etc) spread through their source code, just as you will for this website.
