Core ComponentsCore ComponentsWORDPRESS THEME
A WordPress theme is a set of files that determine the look and feel of your WordPress-powered website. WordPress Themes create the general layout of the site pages and different widgets (plugins) you can use. This means that they contain page content such as graphics, headers, logos and footers.
WORDPRESS PLUGINA plug-in is a small program, or combination of programs, that allow your website to have more features and to do more than it could when you first installed it. There are all kinds of free and paid plugins.

Conclusions
SummaryWordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than
you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world,
used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.
What You Can Use WordPress For?WordPress started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much
more through the thousands of plugins and widgets and themes, WordPress is limited only by your imagination. (And
tech chops.)

ConclusionConclusionThe statistics that make WordPress the world’s most popular CMS are truly mind-numbing.
In its eleven short years of its existence, WordPress had dominated the CMS market. From what we can tell, it isn’t going anywhere, either.
“WordPress can do EVERYTHING! Ok.. Maybe not everything….but on the web, WordPress can create almost any solution you can think of!”
