    Wow. Happy B-day. :-) I’m sure that it was probably a bit more complicated than that little suggestion in the comments section, but who would’ve thought that ‘The Blogging Software Dilemma’would have taken you this far. lol.

    Happy B-Day WP. Fitting that I should celebrate by attending WordCamp in Whistler today.

    Here’s to many more years of the platform.

    Happy Birthday WordPress
    I wonder what WordPress will look like in 6 years?

    WordPress 3? WordPress 4? maybe WordPress 5?

    it would be nice to have the flexibility of MovableType, the parsing of TextPattern, the hackability of b2, and the ease of setup of Blogger. Someday, right?
    she’s come quite a long way. i always tell my clients & friends that i use wordpress for it’s ease-of-use and customizability. it’d be interesting to know how you feel about those goals from 6 years ago now…are we there yet? and does it matter anymore if we aren’t since the end result blows the competition out of the water (imho)?

    thanks for starting this project, matt,and happy b-day wp!

    Thanks to Matt for WordPress and by extension for promoting an interest in open source generally, whereby enthusiastic internet users now seek out software that is dynamic, democratic and constantly evolving. No longer do we have to live with website packages that are out of date the minute we’ve figured out how to upload and debug them.
