In this post, I gave a list of Themes and Plugins of Top Nigerian Blogs on the WordPress Platform.

Before now having a simple website is something costly to accomplish, not to talk of a blog. But with the introduction of the WordPress framework, it is now a thing of the past.

Overy 70% of the active blog in the world are all built with WordPress. What made WordPress easy to use is because it makes use of themes and plugins, which can easily install to extend functionalities and design to their blog.

WordPress is a content management system that can be used to develop almost all kinds of static and dynamic websites you can ever imagine.

Also, WordPress is free, download and install it to your server, and you are good to go. Some web host provides a one-click installation of WordPress; this means you don’t have to download it.
