Where else to blog than on WordPress which proudly everything is for free. From free distribution to free personal publishing platform. Now is there anyone who doesn’t love free stuff?

Administering and Managing the Weblog

Installation Locally

You can install WordPress on your desktop or home computer, or even on an Intranet because its designed to be installed on your own web server giving you control over the weblog; there’s an assurance of being able to access and modify everything related to your weblog.

A Portable Core

To have the tree related files of word press which form the backend of you publicly is your own choice and decision to make either in the same or different directory.

A Friendly UTC

Above everything else wordpress allows you to display the correct time on your weblog whether your host is in the same location or not. It also allows you to define your time as an offset from the Universal Coordinated Time.
Management by the user
Using user-levels, wordpress controls user-access to different features restricting the ability of users  individually to modify or create a content on your weblog by just changing their user-level.

Profiles used by the User

Any and each user on your weblog can define a profile with details eg email address, messaging instant aliases etc that’s if they want to. They are also given the freedom to control the way their details are displayed on the weblog

Easy upgrade and installation

It takes less time to install. Its also easy and simple to use.

Page dynamic generation

No rebuilding of all your pages each time you update your weblog, or any aspect of it. All pages are generated using the database and the templates each time a page from your weblog is requested by a viewer. This means that updating your weblog, or its design is as fast as possible, and required server storage space usage is minimal.
Internationalization and Localization

Now you can create a localized weblog of your choice and deliver it in the language of your choice.

If you are to make money from your blog WordPress doesn’t allow you to place your own ad on your website.
Since the basic service is entirely free WordPress displays their own ads on your own site
Freedom for website customization is limited but if you want to change the look of it you’ll be required to pay $15/year.
Storage space is minimal/limited meaning if you are running something big e.g. photo blog you’ll run out of space before you are through.
Your own domain can’t be used since you are given a default service; but many users use their own domain names at a low price of $10/year.
Number of registered users is limited because WordPress sets a 30-person cap on how many users are to be registered at your blog.
