<h1 id="whats-wordpress-whats-qwriting">What's WordPress? What's Qwriting?</h1><h1 id="wordpress">WordPress</h1><p>WordPress is software that runs on a server—basically, a computer that is connected to the internet all the time. WordPress originally allowed users to easily set up a personal blog, and provided a user-friendly way to add content as well as the design of the site. These days, WordPress is used as a content management system (CMS) for many kinds of sites, not just blogs.</p><p>There are two main ways to use WordPress: via self-hosting or through wordpress.net. Wordpress.net is a site that you sign up for, like Facebook or Twitter, and it allows you to manage your blog without worrying about hosting. You have to pay a fee for certain kinds of use, and your ability to add new functionality to the site is limited. The self-hosted version of WordPress is free to use, but you need to pay for a server to host it. It's less restricted, and you can do anything you want with the site, including adding plugins that provide additional functionality.</p><h3 id="qwriting">Qwriting</h3><p><a href="http://help.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/" target="_blank">Qwriting</a> is a large, multiblog installation of WordPress hosted at Queens College. Like wordpress.net, you can use it to sign up for a blog that is hosted at the college. <a href="http://qcvoices.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/" target="_blank">QC Voices</a> is a Qwriting blog, so to create and edit posts you'll be interacting with WordPress.</p><h3 id="learning-to-use-wordpress">Learning to use WordPress</h3><p>WordPress is designed to be easy to use, but, like anything else, there's a small learning curve that can increase depending on the difficulty of the task you're trying to perform. <a href="new_post.html">Posting</a> is fairly straightforward, but there are still some patterns and best practices to learn. This site provides some guides to get you started using WordPress and makes it easier for you to contribute to QC Voices and other WordPress sites.</p><p>WordPress powers more than 20% of the sites currently on the internet, and you'll find that, in many internships and jobs, you'll be asked to interact with or maintain a WordPress site. Some people make whole careers out of WordPress expertise, and it's definitely something to put on your resume once you feel comfortable with the platform. Let us know if there's something you're confused about, and we'll add it to this document. And remember that there's a lot of information about WordPress out there—often, googling a problem is the fastest way to resolve it.</p>
