Manage your Raspberry Pi website with the WordPress CMS
Most users don't have the time or the skills to develop complex websites from scratch and therefore hire web programmers to do the job. An alternative is a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS lets you post to your site without having to worry about the details of HTML. You can create, edit, and manage your website using a simple GUI interface that does not require advanced technical knowledge. Organizations that don't have a full time webmaster often use a CMS to allow a non-technical person to manage the site. Offices that do have technical support also use CMSs because they can save lots of time and eliminate many possibilities for random errors.
Of course, you do need a bit of know-how to install and configure a CMS for your Raspberry Pi system. In this article, I will take you through the steps to install the popular WordPress CMS. This solution will work well for a small internal website in your home or office. For performance and security reasons, your Raspberry Pi web server is not a good candidate to act as a web server on the open Internet.
