Choosing a content management system is a daunting task because of all the investigation and self-education needed to truly understand what choice is appropriate. In chapter 1, the authors assist in that task by providing a clear overview of WordPress’s history, current state, and future outlook. The chapter also points the reader toward user communities and explores why WordPress is a successful fit for libraries.
