When you like a particular software application or business service, it’s good to see when others like the same things. Makes you think that you made a good choice when you see overwhelmingly good opinions about that application or service.
That’s the case with WordPress, the platform that powers this blog. Since version 2.0 was released last December, over one million copies have been downloaded. The current release version is 2.0.4; very much worth getting.

If you’re wondering about WordPress and how to install it, CNET Reviews has a terrific video on installing a WordPress blog.
