[Take this post as an example]
WordPress is a blogging platform that helps people publishing ideas on the internet.
Users can write posts, which are a kind of articles very ‘internet-oriented’. This posts are mostly short, but enriched with links and multimedia. This way, users find them more useful and easy to read.
WordPress is commonly used as a communication platform, so there are many features to keep in touch with other users. But what we are now more interested in is the writing system, because we need to get quite deeply into it in order to help ourselves in publishing and commenting.
