<h2><a id="what-makes" name="what-makes"></a>What makes WordPress so popular?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>WordPress is an open source content management system or CMS meaning you don't have to know any coding to build your site.</li>
	<li>There is an entire community of WordPress users and developers who are able to assist one another.</li>
	<li>Users have countless options for free and paid plugins and site templates for their use in creating their site.</li>
</ul>

<h2><a id="what-is" name="what-is"></a>What is the difference between a Blog and a Website?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>Content and Use: Where websites are often static and informational, Blogs tend to be more dynamic and updated on a regular basis.</li>
	<li>Formality: Websites are typically more formal and professional, whereas Blogs can be more personal and informal.</li>
	<li>Structure: A Blog can be the entire website or a facet of a larger site.</li>
