Really nice vídeo
Makes it all even more worthwhile. Fantastic.
WordPress changed my life and idea which building website.
Wow That is amazing. Another great reason why WordPress Rocks!
Simply inspirational!
Great video. I’ve added her to my feed reader now.

For those who are curious about this blogger, Glenda’s blog is doitmyselfblog.com
Cool! I love this video.
Though, the voice seems to be generated ?
Anyway, WordPress does really give many people a way to express themselves. I am also trying my best to tell the people in China to try WordPress 🙂
Nice video… Discrimination by disability is usually absent online…
Oh wow! That was a very touching video. Made me feel so ashamed of those times I’ve complained about not being able to do certain things just because they weren’t comfortable or user-friendly enough for me… Thanks for this inspiring post!
Really nice video. I hope more people get to know about how important blogging can be to some people.
Now thats pretty cool.
inspiring story, thanks for the post
Wow, that’s amazing. It’s great to see such good come out of WordPress.
WordPress is an amazing tool and platform, and I for one, am very thankful for it too.
Great video!
I love wordpress aswell! 🙂 It’s so easy and awesome!
Matt
Kudos to you for your VISION in bringing WordPress and Automattic to life, because this video shows that wordpress is a POSITIVE life changer !
Keep Up The Good work and Good Fight
ps..hope to see and listen to you at WordCamp New York-10/05/08
Congrats Matt! If you do nothing else in this life, you have achieved a lot as exemplified by this story. I was fortunate enough to be given an assignment to photograph a number of people with CP ( this was about 10 years ago)… I was struck by the dogged determination these folks had to communicate… many were using sticks in their mouths to tap out letters on their keyboards… looks like you have given them the key to broadcast their voices and show the lights that shine inside…
Matt, it makes it all worthwhile, doesn’t it.
This was the best thing I’ve seen all week. Thank you.
Inspiring. Very inspiring.
That was truly inspirational!
That really must make your feel amazing Matt, you know you’ve made such a profound difference in someones lives.
Fantastic way to start my Working week. Thank you.
(I’m googleing Glenda Watson Hyatt now 🙂 )
omg.. this blogger know what she is doing.. nice.. wp change my life too.. huhu..
people not see my from who I am.. but what I’m write about..
Brilliant, concise, and persuasive! Accessibility rules! The theme i’m working on now will (hopefully) be as accessible as possible, because it’s important to keep ALL variants of humanity and machinery in mind when designing a user interface of any kind, for any purpose. Future-proofing should include the removal of all barriers (as possible) between humans and machines.
She’s got a wonderful blog too.
Ah, now I was impressed with the top execs under 30 ranking, but this is something else … how does it feel to know you’ve made this kind of a difference? The world really is a better place because you’ve shared your talents in a very meaningful way that allows other people to share theirs too.
It was so nice to meet you at WordCamp Utah. Keep living the good life, and I’ll hope to meet you again sometime.
???????????????????????????????
I am a boy,in KunMing City Of YunNan China.
Something Moved Me after your vedio.
Best wishes for you,hope you will happy every day!
That was a great video. You guys over at Automattic rock!
I’m curious as to what kind of inspiration is inspired in those that say this video is inspirational?
There are people that are close to me that I grew up around and although they can be labeled disabled I have never thought of them as such. What I find great about the video is she demonstrates the human tendency to adapt and overcome. There by making it seem as if she is not disabled at all.
Great!!
Two thumbs Up!!
Matt, thank you for making accessibility a priority with WordPress.
Many congratulations Matt. Nice video. We would like to interview you through our website and my admin submitted questions too.
PS: We are still waiting for the smalltalk with one of the most influential person on the web.
very inspiring story…
Though I love wordpress, her speech actually didnt have anything particular to wordpress. You could just replace her usage of wordpress with just blogspot.com or just a blog, everything still holds. Her life was changed by the ability to blog. Wp was just one of the facilitators possible.
