WordPress won Overall Best Open Source CMS Award
After 4 years, WordPress finally won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. WordPress won the award for the first time and it earned itself a place in the Hall of Fame category for the 2010 CMS Open Source Awards.
Other than that, WordPress also placed second to Drupal in the Best Open Source PHP CMS Category. Joomla came third. Drupal and Joomla were consistent in this category and first time for WordPress to be in the top five.
Indeed, WordPress has proven that it deserves to be called as Content Management System not just a blogging platform.
I have tested many Content Management System (CMS) and it was only WordPress that I pursued to learn and use for my websites. I was more into web designing than blogging and I was looking for a software that was easy to tweak and understand.
I knew then that WordPress was a blogging platform and I already saw the potential of it becoming a CMS. I have experimented using it for my websites and not for blogs, and I was able to use it the way I wanted it.
Every time I meet people who are into making websites not just into blogging, I always recommend to them to use WordPress because it is so easy to customize and it is not at all complicated.
To the WordPress Team! Congratulations!
