ment processes, and limited functionality are left in

start of plain blog publishing platform that is splitting
into the cherished instrument of every tech-guru as
well as amateur. So, there should be something magic
and extremely inspiring that breathe a life into this

Retrospective Journey into the
History of WordPress
Getting a glimpse into WordPress history, you realize that this is not
just about the codes, innovative technologies, or convenient web-
site management, it’s all about masterpiece, traditions, and art. So,
the great part of WordPress CMS’ fascinating driving force is Jazz.
Matt Mullenweg, WordPress founder and sax player, has made a
great contribution to present this instrument as the effective solu-
tion for your site management that is tied up with the enjoyable
part like Jazz. So, those who adore WordPress CMS as well as mu-
sic, recognize every WP version named by Jazz legend. In this way,
let’s deep into the pleasant sound through the WordPress versions.

WordPress 1.2 Mingus
This version is named after Charles Mingus, bass prodigy. This
release was introduced with the WordPress plugins support. This
is so-called the inception of WordPress flexibility – the melody of
‘Devils Blues’. Initially, WordPress was design as the blog publish-
ing platform that possessed transparent and intuitive features for
simple content management. After its first stable release, Word-
Press 1.2 Mingus has introduced pretty budding features and im-
provements:
•	 categories and sub-categories creation
•	 post preview
•	 automated thumbnail creation system
•	 encrypted passwords and cookies
•	 advanced comment moderation

Strayhorn 1.5 – Making a ‘Day
Dream’ the Reality
Next major WordPress 1.5 release was inspired by the outstanding
pianist, composer, lyricist, Billy Strayhorn. We may say that this
version has become the major feature and reason of present-day
WordPress supremacy – customization. This release gas allowed
WP users to manage their static website pages and theme system.
Previously, the site owners could have easily managed the theme
installation, but with Strayhorn 1.5 release, it became so simple to
expand the boundaries of website design. Since that time, it’s sim-
ple to create various themes for different section of the site. Here
are more WordPress 1.5 enhancements:
•	 comments control - ‘emergent registration’ and
‘automated whitelist’
•	 diligent and breeze spam moderation
•	 precise permission level for those who leaves
comments
•	 multiple page creation

WordPress 2.0 –
Becoming Eminent
Duke Ellington was the bandleader of jazz orchestras, passionate
professional, and the soul of the Jazz world. He was the one who
made his work inspiring and majestic. Also, Duke was the major em-
breather of new WordPress 2.0 release. Frankly speaking, it’s pretty
difficult to count the exact number of new features and enhance-
ments. Basically, the release was attended with the improvement of
editor, administrative tools, image uploading, and plugin develop-
ment. There are the following major developer and user features:
•	 WYSIWYG Editing
•	 faster administration
•	 header customization
•	 more diligent permission roles
•	 built-in caching

upgrades:

design, you may fully feel the age of modernity:

1. WordPress = Simplicity:
Equation Mark Only
What are WordPress Pre-Eminences?
Yes, that’s true, WordPress and Simplicity are the synonyms, the
words with same meaning shades. You shouldn’t be a tech-guru or
coding-obsessed to create and manage a website on WP. Frequent-
ly those who run their web projects on WordPress core compare
its dashboard to that of visual text editor. And be sure, it’s not an
exaggeration – simple version upgrade procedure, full-site optimi-
zation, rich out-of-the-box features (plugins, categorise, settings,
SEO options) – everything is tidily arranged
2. Breeze Content Adding
WordPress possesses visual text editor – WYSIWYG (What You See
Is What You Get). It means that you don’t have to be HTML-savvy
or manage your website content via FTP client software, means
that you don’t have to add the pictures to your post via FTP, but just
upload them via your user-friendly media gallery. You just click the
buttons to create blog post, new page, upload media files likes vid-
eos, image galleries, documents, etc.
3. Extremely SEO-Friendly
WordPress, on its own, is a SEO-friendly CMS platform. It has a
clearly written code and scripts that are easy to read and index by
Google bots. Moreover, you may simply optimize every post, image,
or other files for search engines – you just add meta tags to almost
to all your content and set up SEO friendly URLs. And don’t forget
about the third party SEO tools. You may upload any free or com-
mercial plugin for better search engine optimization.
4. From Small to Large
Web Projects
Many think that WordPress is just a plain blogging platform. It’s
true if only they speak about hosted WordPress.com. Now, the
self-hosted WP possesses the robust functionality and is able to
handle not just a simple blog, but a complex web projects. You may
easily create a website with a forum (you just need to install forum
plugin, for instance, the one like bbPress or Simple:Press, etc.) or
even online store with e-commerce plugin like WP e-Commerce,
WooCommerce, eShop, etc.
5. Expandable Functionality
One more thing that makes WordPress the favourite website build-
ing tool is the ability to expand its functionality in accordance to
your demands and wishes. So, it’s possible to do with the various
plugins installation. Technically, you may differentiate the plugins
types into two – those which improve your site functionality (some
tools for your web page security, SEO options, etc) and those that
help you to optimize your website management (some text widgets,
image galleries, social bookmarking widget, etc).
Afterpiece
So, you should know, these are just the basic WordPress benefits and privileges over other web-
site building platforms. The real pleasure and enthusiasm of running a WordPress website comes
when you plug headlong into your site management.
