WordPress is open-source blogging
software that is deployed at CSE for research, instructional,
and administrative applications. As such, it offers:
- Web content creation using a web browser. A
simple WYSIWYG editor is used to create posts (time-stamped stories)
and pages (permanent static content) that are richly formatted and
may contain images and other multimedia. Content can also be added
using email submission.
- A role-based permission system. You may use
either the internal or an external auth scheme to identify
users. Users may have permission to (for example) create content, to
enter comments, or to approve content created by others.
- Content offered via Atom/RSS. Users are offered the
option to subscribe to the content of the site in their choice of
feed-based formats.
- Expandability. A vast array of third-party
themes and plugins allow the look and functionality of the site to
be customized to suit needs.
