We live in a tech-savvy world where the spoken word is no longer the only means of communication. Many forms of media have taken over, and one among them is blogging.

Blogging is a platform for anyone who wants to be heard. It started personally as self-expression and has become a web journal of reputed individuals and organizations. Some blogs are just personal diaries of individuals, and others are authoritative and reliable sources of information for the niche they write about.

At an individual level, blogs are a means to connect with the community, reach out to help others, promote your expertise in a particular area, or stay connected with a close circle of family and friends. In addition, blogs help commercially advertise and brand, reaching out to an internet-friendly population.

WordPress is used as the CMS by over 810 million websites including many popular and top-ranking blogs. And you can take a closer look at 25 popular blogs here to see WordPress in action.
