I use wordpress since over 10 years now, when it was the standard blogging software von msn.
Over the years (15 years ago now) i become a professional software engineer and i used wordpress in a lot of projects.
there are a lot of nice plugins on the market, wich can optimise wordpress nearly für every usecase. it is often used as a shop (with woocommerce), as community, photoblog and so on. the posibilities where nearly endless.
it came to that point, when a big american newspaper wants to scale their media libraray.
recognize, not the archive fpr the poblic, but the archive fpr them selves where are many many more files in different sizes, formats, languages and so on stored.

this is, when the ponds foundation came in the game.

i can recoomend it very much.

tommorrow i will write more here
