Content – WordPress is a content management system (CMS), so of course updating pages and posts are very simple. It even features a rich content editor, called TinyMCE, that allows the quick insertion of video, images and other media content. Adding a link to another website does not require the knowledge of HTML, its all built-in!
Extensions – Extensions are what make WordPress so powerful. Don’t get me wrong, the core is great by itself, but there are things you may want to add.
