If there is a singular platform that has swept the floor for any web developer, blogger or web designer it has to be WordPress. WordPress has completely changed the definition of website designing, web developing, blogging etc. Today developers and designers alike rely on WordPress for all their creative needs.
One the other hand, most of us came to know about WordPress while reading a blog or web-site content. Some of us are actively using back-end of WordPress supported websites. Few are planning to launch their websites on WordPress. Whichever category you fit in, the latest facts and stats that I am about to discuss are going to boggle your mind-
