“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.
I wonder if she wrote that herself
I bet Anil will be throwing chairs 😀
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!
That’s awesome! WordPress world domination in full effect 🙂
Nice, one of the rare blog designs, people need cooler blog designs then templetes man!
Awesome comment from the Martha Blog:

wow! martha swewart also use wp! *wink*
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?
Very good for her… obviously her IT folks are “brilliant” people with their choice of WP.
…!
aww martha, god bless her, she’ll start telling you matt how to work with wordpress hehe
“After careful research, that new platform will be WordPress. ”
God, there are so many choices;-)
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
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!
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. 🙂
Wow, now that’s a strong endorsement!
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.
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. 😆

Good for Martha and good for WordPress!
