Mike Little: WordPress — 9 years since it’s conception

Simon D reminded me that it is now nine years since my fateful comment on Matt’s blog that kicked off this whole WordPress thing!

Nine years ago today @ floated an idea which eventually became WordPress. #thanksmike http://t.co/teYbVHX8

WordPress is really shaping up, and is an evermore stable and functional CMS platform. The statistics continue to be astonishing, with more than 70 million sites around the world. That’s nearly 16% of the web!

WordPress is supporting a whole industry of WordPress experts, including me: I’m just starting my fourth year as an independent WordPress specialist.

Praise must go as usual to the fantastic community around WordPress, the singular vision of Matt Mullenweg, and the awesome power of the GNU GPL open source license.

With version 3.4 currently in the making, I predict it will be another great year for WordPress.
