Therefore, a person won’t have the complete access, and ultimately he becomes the Co-admin, while Google becomes his boss. Moreover, a sword always stands above those sites hosted at blogger who share pirated content.

It has highly flexible interface through which anyone can easily upload themes, plugins and etc. The latest version of WordPress has almost everything in it.
