    What is WordPress used for?

    I have no to little knowledge about wordpress. I have written 10-15 tutorials & projects in paper & now I am all set to create blog in Wordpress & post it one by one.

    What my question is : If Wordpress can be accessed via web browser using internet, what is the need of installing it ?
    What are advantages of installing wordpress ? How will it help me maintaining my blog ?

    This might sound noob, but I am noob; hence I am looking for answer 😀

    WordPress.org offers an open source software which you can install on your own server to run your own blog. You will be in complete control of the software, modifying it, theming it, creating add-ons and everything else. WordPress is a content management system and it just works out of the box. It offers you a nice admin control panel that lets you tweaks things for the front end and create content.

    I'll recommend setting up a test server on your machine using xampp and install the latest version of WordPress to understand what it does.

    A question :
    So, I have installed Wordpress in my system. And I can even login with my account details. But there is one confusion, which I need to clear out. :
    Before I installed Wordpress in my system, I already had created one page called 'Infinite Linux' in which I haven't posted anything.

    But when I use same account details & login using #-Link-Snipped-# from PC, it doesn't shows up my page i.e. 'Infinite Linux'. It shows 'abhishek's blog'.

    Good that you figured out!
    I don't have wordpress installed on my computer. I am renting out server space from Godaddy and have installed wordpress platform there. The different logins are for maintaining the server and another for managing the blog.

    did u manage to migrate your blog onto the server on your machine too?

    You are in wp-admin home page not on blog.
    Click on post and then click view blog/site.
    (or try this: #-Link-Snipped-#)
    Which server manager you are using (wampServer)?

    Ok, hover on left upper corner of your admin page (Your blog name) and "Visit Site".
    It must land you on actual website. I am doing this on my live site.
