For starters there are two different types of Wordpress; there is .com and .org. Wordpress.com is a way for you to create a blog through Wordpress, where Wordpress.org is a "Well-Architectured personal publishing system," basically it lets you make a website. Wordpress was made in this world as an open source content management system and was actually based off another program called cafelog. In other words they are both a CMS or content management system as it was said above.
Wordpress is actually more common than what is first thought. It is actually used on a multitude of common and well known sites like TechCrunch, The New Yorker, BBC America, The Official Star Wars Blog (Come on, I had to put it in.), and Variety. In fact, out of the top 10 MILLION websites of the words Wordpress is used on about 24.4% of them. You do the math, that is a lot of websites.
Of course though, Wordpress is not the only CMS used. There are others including, but not limited to, Joomla and ModX which are also pretty popular in the CMS area of the web.
