Martha Stewart on WP
“As my blog has grown in popularity, we realized we were ready to switch to a platform offering more programming options. After careful research, that new platform will be Wordpress, which we hope to launch tomorrow with an exciting photo gallery from my most recent trip to Mexico.” — Martha Stewart. Ms. Stewart was previously on Typepad. Hat tip: Joe Clark. ¶

Now we can have little Martha stewart blog templates, each conforming to her design specs, just like her little villages.

Wise of them to choose WP, instead of going for MT

Awesome!

TYPEPAD? Oh, Martha! How Twentieth Century!

Great, now Martha will make me feel inadequate as a blogger as well as a housekeeper. I can only imagine what pretty and unique designs she will come up with for her theme. Can you grow Wordpress themes in your Victorian herb garden?
John | September 5th, 2008 @ 5:23 am |
Very good for her… obviously her IT folks are “brilliant” people with their choice of WP.
…!

“After careful research, that new platform will be Wordpress. ”
God, there are so many choices;-)
Aaron D. Campbell | September 5th, 2008 @ 8:01 am |
Not a huge Martha Stewart fan, but I love it! Mostly because she doesn’t just say she’s using it, but because she says “After careful research” which shows that they think it’s the best (her techs…not her). Anyway, they’re up on 2.6.1 now.

As Martha would say:
Good things
Lloyd Budd | September 5th, 2008 @ 11:23 am |
Fantastic! I’m pretty sure I even saw Martha’s blog as a “Featured TypePad Site” on TyePad’s homepage earlier this week. Big win for the WordPress community!
Nathan Barry | September 5th, 2008 @ 12:43 pm |
That’s awesome!
Glad that even celebrities can see the value of WordPress.

I can’t wait to see the next line of decorative WP themes, color coordination widgets, and spam comments containing dinner recipes.

So Martha knows about online publishing platforms? I wonder if she knows anything about SEOs too.
In other news, you were awesome at WordCamp Phils.! Thanks for coming.

Wordpress, it’s a good thing.
I wonder if she’ll have a special on her show about blogging ettiquette.
Hanna | September 7th, 2008 @ 8:01 am |
Great. She’s moved from pressed sheets to pressed words. Next she’ll iron her driveway

You can bet your sweet behind that’ll be the cleanest darned blog on the internet, not to mention the most fashionable.
